Register now for tickets to join us for an open-doors visit to mission control at our establishment in Darmstadt, Germany, on 8 September.

During 'Long Night of the Stars' visitors will tour the centre's facilities and see first-hand how missions are flow. Experts will brief visitors and host guided tours in a rare behind-the-scenes look at Europe's 'gateway to space'. The evening is part of ESOC's celebration of its 50th anniversary. #esoc50 http://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESOC/Long_Night_of_the_Stars_to_celebrate_ESOC_s_50th_birthday #esa #esoc #control #operations #tracking #dynamics #mars #venus #earth #climate #gravity #darmstadt #engineering #stem #launch #leop #software
