The European Space Agency has chosen 17 new astronaut candidates from more than 22 500 applicants from across its Member States. In this new 2022 class of ESA astronauts are five career astronauts, 11 members of an astronaut reserve and one astronaut with a disability.
ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher introduced the members of the 2022 ESA astronaut class, the first new recruits in 13 years, today at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris, France, shortly after the ESA Council at Ministerial level ended.
ESRIN’s Open Days 2016 gave 2000 young students and their teachers a rare opportunity to learn more about ESA’s Centre for Earth Observation and about ESA's space programmes. For us, it represents a valuable occasion to inspire young visitors and their teachers, showing them European space research projects through a variety of interactive activities.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is at the forefront of exploring the vastness of space, and one of its key facilities is the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) located in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. This site is the technical heart of ESA, where groundbreaking projects and missions are conceptualized and developed. From the design and construction of space missions to the rigorous testing of spacecraft in environmental simulators, ESTEC is where the future of European space exploration takes shape. It's not just a hub for scientists and engineers; it's also an educational center where the public can engage with space through the Space Expo museum. Here, visitors can touch a real meteorite, explore a model of the International Space Station, and even earn an astronaut diploma through interactive missions designed for children. The Space Expo offers a unique glimpse into the world of space travel, right next to the facility where Europe's space missions are born.
