The Barcelona television programme will follow the launch of the rocket from the base at Kourou (French Guyana) and at CosmoCaixa, where the event will be shown on giant screens.
Cristina Vicente, who will lead the programme through space from the Barcelona Televisió studio, will establish links with Silvia Carbonell (at CosmoCaixa) and with Vanessa Petit (at the Kourou base).
