A satellite video conferencing system utilized in the DICE (Direct Inter-establishment Communications Experiment) within the Olympus utilization program is discussed. In contrast to conventional systems, up to four sites can be simultaneously connected via satellite. The successful use of this system during the AustroMir space flights, and recently in the German Mir '92 mission is addressed. The flight control center near Moscow (USSR) was connected with several sites on western Europe by satellite for daily press conferences, experimenters' meetings, briefings, and direct links with the Space Station from abroad, providing real time interactive coverage of the event.
