monochrom's ISS: Astronaut training camp
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
the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation and writing popular science
articles in various magazines.
Maria Pflug-Hofmayr is journalist, graphic designer, documentarian

and astronomy. Maria is the producer of "SuperNova," a regular
