Insights into space travel and research

The exclusive group tour of the European Astronaut Centre (EAC), located on the premises of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne-Wahnheide, provides rare insights into the preparation of European astronauts for international missions, especially on the International Space Station (ISS). Expert guides explain historical milestones, technical contexts and Europe's important role in the international space discourse. At the same time, the tour sensitises visitors to social responsibility and the ethical dimensions of scientific progress. The EAC is an example of innovative co-operation, openness and sustainable space activities.

After the tour, you can ask all your questions about the work at the EAC, astronaut training and space travel in general. Photography is explicitly permitted.
