Cluster was originally proposed to ESA in 1982, was subject to a launch failure in 1996, but was rebuilt after great effort from the community and its four spacecraft were successfully launched in 2000. This session, centred around a new documentary about the mission, will discuss the story of Cluster, its science and some lessons learned. In particular it will include aspects of the making of documentary itself and the unique challenges and opportunities of telling the story of a mission that has a history spanning almost 50 years while also grappling with the creative process of communicating the esoteric nature of heliophysics/space plasma science to the broader public as well as the unique approaches employed by the documentary team.
