In the Mini Control Room, visitors get a behind-the-scenes look at ESA and its sites. Space travel enthusiasts can find out about the current ESA’s missions, how satellites are launched and operated and discover the entire lifecycle of a satellite. A three-dimensional satellite model provides technical descriptions, innovative inventions are presented, and a complete satellite launch can be recreated.
Discover how ESA’s satellites are launched, operated, and monitored across Europe—from mission control to orbit.
