On 7 October 2018 we opened the doors of ESTEC, our technical heart in the Netherlands, and welcomed more than 7600 people on a day full of activities including meet-and-greet with astronauts, tours around our test rooms, learning about the science in science fiction, and about the activities ESA does in all its establishments around Europe and beyond.

Thousands flocked to ESTEC, ESA's technical heart in the Netherlands on Sunday 6 October to celebrate the ESA Open Day.
People got the chance to meet astronauts, space experts and saw behind the scenes of Europe’s space adventure at ESA’s largest establishment.

The progress of the East Side Access construction in Long Island City, Queens, as of December 20, 2012.
This photo shows work underway on one of the most challenging parts of the entire project: Excavating a tunnel under Northern Boulevard, while simultaneously supporting the overhead roadway, the overhead underground subway (E/M/R), and the elevated subway (N/Q).
To ensure stability, the tunnel was excavated in seven separate horizontal segments, or “drifts." And because the ground is soft at this site and difficult to control during excavation, it was frozen to allow for increased control and rigidity.
Workers had to drive a new set of foundation pilings into the ground to temporarily support the elevated structure during construction. They then jacked up the line a fraction of an inch to shift the weight to the temporary supports, which you can see in some views running vertically through the newly built tunnel. Those supports will be removed after the weight of the elevated subway is shifted back to the walls of the tunnel, which has been engineered to carry the load.

The Art and Science Exhibition Part III consists of a scientific educational part showing some of the most beautiful satellite images of the Earth, curated by ESA, along with some interactive terminals providing the scientific background information. Several examples of artistic works with satellite imaging and historical references to the field comprise the second part of this exhibition.
This satellite image is also part of the Spaceship Earth Exhibition (2015) at Ars Electronica Center, Linz.

Expedition 58 Flight Engineer Anne McClain of NASA speaks with backup crew member Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) while she waits to have her Russian Sokol suit pressure checked in preparation for her launch aboard the Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft on Monday, Dec. 3, 2018, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Launch of the Soyuz rocket is scheduled for the same day and will carry McClain, Soyuz Commander Oleg Kononenko of Roscosmos, and Flight Engineer David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) into orbit to begin their six and a half month mission on the International Space Station.

Since 1968, the Italian town of Frascati, 20 kilometres south of Rome, has been the European Centre for Satellite Earth Observation (ESRIN) of the European Space Agency (ESA). A new centre, the ESA "ϕ Experience", is opening up exciting insights into modern Earth observation, its research projects and findings on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary. This newly opened interactive world of experience was designed by Ars Electronica Solutions together with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the ESA team.
