    ESA astronauts celebrate 20 years on the International Space Station

    On 19 April, 2001, Umberto Guidoni was launched to the International Space Station, becoming the first European astronaut on board. In April 2021, ESA celebrates 20 years of European astronaut missions to this unique orbital outpost.

    In this video, ESA astronauts past and present share their experiences of the International Space Station and spaceflight more generally. They identify some of their favourite moments and voice their hopes for the future of space exploration.

    The International Space Station is humankind’s science laboratory in space. Its unique microgravity environment enables researchers to study phenomena and carry out experiments that would not be possible on Earth. Around 400 ESA investigations have been performed since the first module was launched and thousands more are led by the four other space agencies that work together to keep the Space Station aloft: @NASA, Russia’s @Роскосмос ТВ, Japan’s @JAXA | 宇宙航空研究開発機構, and the @Canadian Space Agency.

    Scientific discoveries made on Station are applied widely from health to metallurgy, while the increased knowledge we gain about our solar system helps build a deeper understanding of Earth and life itself.

  • Kulturfestival – Space Station Earth premiere

    Kulturfestival – Space Station Earth premiere

    Space was the theme of the 2019 Stockholm Culture Festival, a mass event that took over central Stockholm, Sweden, from 13 to 17 August.

    Art, music, films and science activities for all ages took to the streets to satisfy the audience’s curiosity about space.

    At the festival’s interactive planet exhibition, the whole family could feel and learn more about our galaxy and how space can improve our lives on Earth. Iconic images of the Moon and some rare shots of the preparations behind the scenes were on display in the exhibition ‘A Swedish camera on the Moon’ at Brunkebergstorg Square in Stockholm.

    ESA’s astrophysicist Matt Taylor shared the fascinating space adventure of Rosetta, the first ever mission to land on a comet.
    ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano talked to thousands of festival-goers on 13 August to share his experiences in orbit, less than a month into his mission Beyond. Fellow astronauts Tim Peake and Thomas Reiter were on stage to host the event and bring the audience closer to space.

    A stunning new film, called ‘Space Station Earth’, featuring images from space set to music by composer Ilan Eshkeri, made its world premiere on the opening night of the festival supported by a large orchestra, a choir and electronic instruments.

    Combining images taken by ESA astronauts aboard the International Space Station with new footage created with the latest video techniques, the whole multimedia experience allowed the audience to see through astronauts’ eyes.

  • ESA Euronews: The sounds of space

    ESA Euronews: The sounds of space

    There are many links between music and space. Astronauts like Frank De Winne take their favourite rock music with them to orbit, while musicians on Earth often take inspiration from the stars in their work. Some astrophysicists have transposed plasma waves and electron beams into audible sound.
