Today Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will join students at the Delft University of Technology in a call to ESA astronaut André Kuipers on board the International Space Station.

Live broadcast

The call will be broadcast live on NASA TV from 15:55 CET (14:55 UT) and will last 15 minutes.

Update 16:50 CET: Dutch replay is now available via TU Delft (silverlight required)

Role reversal

As part of the event in Delft, ESA astronaut Frank De Winne will present his 2009 mission to the ISS (not part of the NASA TV transmission). In 2009 Frank also made a call from the ISS to the Delft University of Technology. At that time André Kuipers was present in Delft and made his own presentation about spaceflight and life on the ISS.
