ESTEC, ESA’s technical heart, opened its doors to the public on Sunday, and the response was impressive. More than 8500 people visited over the course of the day – averaging one new visitor every 2.5 seconds.
The Open Day saw thousands of people strolling through the European Space Technology and Research Centre, ESTEC – ESA’s largest establishment based in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Visitors made their way through ESTEC’s main building along its main corridor, around into the laboratory corridor and into the Test Centre, where spacecraft are tested before launch.
