    Cervantes Mission logo

    “The astronaut looks to the sky and extends his hand towards the stars that he hopes to reach some day. He, like Cervantes’ hero, Don Quixote, is anxious to explore the Universe to discover the mysteries of life. In the constellation, the biggest star is the one placed there by man: the International Space Station, which already shines above our heads and will be the oasis for the conquerors of space.”
