ESA Open Days at ECSAT

Thousands of visitors flocked to ESA’s establishment in the UK last Saturday to experience first-hand how the agency is pushing the boundaries of exploration and using space to improve life on Earth.

This was ESA’s very first open day to be held at its European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT), located at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire.

Part of the campus-wide Harwell open week, the event’s packed programme of talks and hands-on demonstrations launched visitors on an inspiring journey through ECSAT’s activities, showing how expert teams at the site are collaborating with partners on campus, the UK and across ESA’s member states for the benefit of European citizens.
