For one day each year, ESA’s testing centre in Noordwijk opens its doors to the public.
Visitors can meet astronauts and mission experts, discover how ESA recreates space conditions on Earth for experiments and testing, and learn how technologies developed for space exploration are used in everyday life. The event offers a unique opportunity to visit Europe’s largest space research and technology centre and see where future European space missions are conceived, developed, and tested.
Admission is free. Registration is required. Online registration opens in early September.
