Mosaic art at ESA’s spacecraft operations centre ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany. French artist Invader is installing his iconic art at ESA establishments all over Europe and even on the International Space Station.
The European Space Operations Centre ensures the smooth working of spacecraft in orbit. Its control rooms, linked to ground stations all over the world, track and control satellites, and carry out payload operations and routine systems monitoring.
After ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti found a space invader called ‘Space2’ in the Columbus space laboratory, the space-themed art has appeared at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany and at ESA’s Redu Centre in Belgium, where satellites are controlled and tested as part of ESA’s ground station network.
Mission control believes Invader will organise more invasions and activate aliens at other ESA establishments throughout the year. Follow their progress on Twitter via #space2iss and #SpaceInvader.

PA_1292 [40 points]
Going downhill from the Butte de Montmartre to catch this evolutionary series of 4 space invaders according to the principles of Charles Darwin.
Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist,[6] best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. The fact that that the classic Renault 4 (built between 1961 and 1994) parked right in front of PA_1292 is pure luck.

About 10 "ground" space invaders have been re-activated in June 2020. One of the re-activators must have mastered him- or herself the method how to put an invader in the asphalte. This one is located in the Saint-Paul area of the Marais. Just look down to find!
I have never seen the orignal myself, also not the re-activated version of 2016 which was deleted quite quickly a few months later.

A welcome come-back of the 712th space invader in Paris. Thanks to the perfect work of the re-activation team. Next to the Thalys Lounge & More.

PA_1556 [40 points]
The show of four new space invaders (PA_1556 thru PA_1559) on February 19, 2026 started here in Montmartre with this PA_1556.
A striking detail is that these four (PA_1556 through PA_1559) use a new type of mosaic tile with a slightly curved front. I'm posting these four in the order I visited and flashed them. I came to Paris on the beautiful sunny day of February 25th to photograph these four in good lighting conditions. PA_1556 with the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur in the background.
