Access to ESA facilities and laboratories

Complex 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

Gain access to ESA laboratories

ESA's world class laboratories support its missions and these facilities are available for the use and benefit of Member States. The work and applications of the various laboratories cover a wide range of technical areas related to spacecraft activities.

Small- and medium-sized enterprises, startups, mid-caps, research institutes and universities can have quick, secure and affordable access to ESA laboratories. This enables client organisations to perform their own tests using ESA's TEC directorate facilities.
