ESA at MAKS 2015 - Media opportunities

 

This year the European Space Agency will again be present at MAKS, the international aviation and space show held in Zhukovsky, near Moscow, 25–30 August.

 

MAKS provides a comprehensive insight into the achievements and future plans of the Russian aerospace industry. ESA has traditionally taken part in this important event. This year the ESA chalet will host a series of presentations given by ESA experts and bilateral meetings of Jan Woerner, the new Director General of ESA who took up duty on 1  July, with ESA’s Russian cooperation partners. Jan Woerner will be available for media representatives on two occasions:

  1. Tuesday, 25 August, between 15:30 and 16:30  
  2. Wednesday, 26 August, between 16:30 and 17:30

 

The Wednesday media opportunity will follow a joint Press Briefing with Igor Komarov, Head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, starting at 15:30

at the ESA Chalet.
