Matthias Maurer at Farnborough International Airshow

ESA’s efforts to ensure European citizens reap the benefits of space have been highlighted at a global aerospace event held in the UK. 

ESA joined several of its institutional and commercial partners – including the UK Space Agency – at the Farnborough International Airshow this week.

German ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer attended the airshow to take part in a number of activities to inspire young people about space, including a question-and-answer session on life as an astronaut.
