The programme is currently being prepared and will feature a series of fascinating talks on science and space topics, such as artificial intelligence and the challenges of space debris. It will also highlight the many exciting career and learning opportunities in the space industry – and will include the chance to meet and greet a British ESA astronaut.

ESA will showcase its collaboration with climate-conscious fashion label Tammam, as part of a fashion show featuring a collection of elegant garments inspired by ESA Earth observation imagery.

The ESA open day will also include interactive demonstrations designed to take people on a journey through ECSAT’s activities, giving them a chance to enter virtual worlds to learn about space-enabled 5G, discover new technologies designed to support future exploration, observe the environment through the eyes of Earth observing satellites – and much more.
