http://www.monochrom.at/iss/

Our actors Jeff Ricketts (Star Trek: Enterprise, Buffy the Vampire 
Slayer, Firefly, CSI), Maciej Salamon (Barbarella, Tanz der Vampire, 
Sweeney Todd), Claire Tudela (Carmen, The Producers), Geoff Pinfield 
(Aoterroroa, Lovepuke) will portray the crew of the International 
Space Station -- but first they need some serious astronaut coaching.

Space experts Norbert Frischauf (OEWF) and Maria Pflug-Hofmayr (Der 
Orion) will join us for a public Q&A session about living and working 
in orbit. Want to be part of this unique event? Please join the 
training at Raum D (Quartier 21, Museumsquartier, Vienna) on February 
25 and 26, 7 thru 9 PM.

Our experts:
Norbert Frischauf has studied Technical Physics at the Technical 
University in Vienna (Austria). After having spent some years at 
CERN, his professional career led him to the European Science and 
Technology Centre (ESTEC) of the European Space Agency (ESA), where 
he worked as future studies systems engineer and expert for emerging 
technologies. From 1999 to 2006, Norbert consulted on aerospace, 
telecoms and hi-tech for Booz Allen Hamilton.
Norbert now works as a scientific officer at the European 
Commission's Joint Research Centre, in the Institute for Energy. He 
is a leading member in various associations (like the OEWF) and is 
active as a science communicator, making science documentaries for
