>> Spaceflight is an important segment of ILA Berlin Air Show. Everybody who is anybody is going to be there. Leading companies and agencies from West and East are represented at the trade show. ILA is an excellent platform to interchange and to discuss joint programs of the future. <<
Jean-Jacques Dordain
Director General
ESA
>> The fact that for the first time there was a Space Day (at ILA) is also significant, because it raises space as a very important issue. And the fact that we had ministers, prime ministers, heads of space agencies from lot of different member states is a clear signal that space is more and more important and Germany is playing a more and more important role. <<
