15 April 2005 00:45 GMT. Landing Date: 2004-10-24 00:36:00. Flight Time: 9.89 days. Alternate Name: ISS Eneide. Other Name: ISS-10S. Flight Up: Soyuz TMA-6. Flight Back: Soyuz TMA-5. Crew: Vittori. Program: ISS. Italian astronaut sent for a ten day European Space Agency mission aboard the ISS while the EO-10/EO-11 long duration crews handed duties over to each other.

Eneide was an ESA mission sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Defence and by the Lazio Region, and supported by Finmeccanica and the Roman Chamber of Commerce (CCIAA) on the terms of the agreement between ESA and Roscosmos. In his eight days on board the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori worked on a full programme of scientific experiments. About 40 hours was dedicated to experimental activities. Vittori also performed various educational activities for the purpose of stimulating interest in students. Most of the experiments were developed by Italian researchers and built by Italian industry and research institutions. The Eneide Mission also allowed the European Astronaut Corps to expand their experience of spaceflight and life in space, in preparation for the launch of the Columbus laboratory, which was to be the first European operating module on board the Space Station.
