ESOC, where missions come alive

ESOC dresses up for its 50th anniversary. A new banner featuring the #ESOC50 logo has been installed on the fence, just outside the main gate. Since 1967 more than 70 satellites belonging to ESA and its partners have been successfully controlled from Darmstadt, Germany.

To celebrate the event, ESOC will open its gate to citizens for the ‘Long Night of the Stars’ on 8 September.
