The Space Week
This fall, the very first edition of the Space Week took place! from September 25 to October 2! The 8-day space extravaganza was for anyone with an interest in space.
When was the Space Week?
25 September to 2 October, the Dutch space region opened its doors for an eight-day space extravaganza for anyone interested in all things space-related. Space Week demystified space exploration by bringing everyone together, from your neighbour to current astronauts and everyone in between
What was the Space Week?
Space Week is an initiative of NL Space Campus in cooperation with ESA ESTEC, Leiden 2022 The European City of Science, and supported by many space partners. The entire Dutch space region was dominated by space activities, from Leiden to the site of NL Space Campus, in Noordwijk. From making a telescope out of lego to looking through the telescope of the Old Observatory or walking around the Space Expo, there was something for everyone!
“Space week has been very dynamic and it is the opportunity for us, working with space daily, to showcase to the public what we do in space, what space is and how space is an integral part of our daily life and an integral part of everybody’s daily life"
- Torben Henriksen, Director of ESA ESTEC
