The ISOC team was presented to the camera on May 14, 2004,
on the road next to the ISOC "building" at ESTEC.
Currently, the team is in phase "PM", i.e., it is in its
pre-movement stage (to the European Space Astronomy Centre, ESAC,
formerly known as VILSPA, Spain). Preparations for the move are
well underway, and the team has to face a "graceful degradation"
during the extended mission phase (currently at least up to 2008).
