Register now: ESTEC Open Day for people with disability
Join us for the ESA Open Day for people with disability at ESTEC on Saturday 26 September 2026.
This is an exciting opportunity for people with disability and their carers to explore ESA's technical heart. Get up close to the technology we build for space missions and hear from our scientists, engineers and astronauts who make it all happen.
This will be the 6th ESA Open Day for people with disability. It is a day that continues to provide greater accessibility for those living with disability so they can explore the world of ESA and ESTEC at their own pace.
