The series will air every Sunday from 4 July at 9 pm. The four-episode series focusses on the engineers, astronauts, scientists and politicians who made mankind’s greatest leap into outer space possible.

The series will also include a one-hour episode. Space Shuttle airs on 20 July at 11 pm. On that day, we landed on the moon. From the largest peacetime collaborative effort of 11 countries to establish an International Space Station for scientific research to the rescue operation of Apollo 13 the Moon Walk series promises to be a delight for anyone who is interested in knowing about how space was conquered.

In addition the broadcaster will run an on-air contest between 11- 30 July 2004. Viewers can tune into the channel between these dates and answer a simple question to win an all expense paid, five-day trip, with a companion, to the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. They will get to meet real astronauts.
