Access to ESA facilities and laboratories

Advanced missions need advanced testing. ESA offers unique infrastructure so that companies and institutes do not need to develop test facilities from scratch for each mission.

For an overview of all ESA laboratories and to find the details of the corresponding lab managers, please visit the ESA Technology website: https://technology.esa.int/labs

Simplified access to Laboratories

ESA has the mandate to maintain unique facilities and expertise when not commercially viable and needed for ESA Missions. The Simplified Access to Laboratories scheme allows external partners to have quick, secure and affordable access to a number of ESA labs. The arrangement allows client organisations, including SMEs, start-ups, midcaps, research institutes and universities, to perform their own tests using TEC facilities.
