Visit ESTEC

Space Expo is the official visitor center of ESTEC (European Space Technology and Research Centre), the European Space Agency's development and testing center. Where else can you see the solar cells of the Hubble space telescope, a real moon stone or the Soyuz capsule that brought the Dutch astronaut André Kuipers back to earth?
