ESAC - the European Space Astronomy Centre
ESAC
Overview
 
The European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) is ESA’s centre for space science. It is located in Villanueva de la Cañada, close to Madrid in Spain, and hosts the science operation centres for all ESA astronomy and planetary missions together with their scientific archives.

ESAC is thereby the place from which the science operations for space telescopes are conducted, and where all of the scientific data they produce is archived and made accessible to the world. ESAC is therefore an international centre of excellence for space science and instrumental to ESA and the space science community at large.
