Participate in an Engineers Week event and be in with a chance of winning a once-in-lifetime trip to the European Space Agency for yourself and three guests!

Not only will you and three guests get the chance to dress like an astronaut but you will:

• Experience the simulated launch of an Ariane rocket ‘live’

• Explore the world of satellites with the test models of European space missions

• Discover what it was like for the first men on the Moon

• Understand and perform some of the training the astronauts must go through before they leave for a space mission

• Experience how astronauts live and work in space

This experience will turn the lucky winner and their three guests into ‘space experts’!   Space Expo is Europe’s first permanent space exhibition. Space Expo is also the visitors’ centre for ESA in the Netherlands, the European Space Agency’s largest technical establishment.
