Yesterday was a busy day for the EPFL Space Center!

We were delighted to welcome some wonderful children as part of JOM (Journée Osez tous les Métiers).

They had the chance to meet and chat with @claude.nicollier, who told them about his amazing experience as an astronaut.

Afterwards, our aerospace engineer Marnix Verkammen explained how gravity works, and answered all our young visitors’ pertinent questions. (And he baked some delicious cookies! 🍪)

Finally, the children attended the « Space, Science & Technology » conference, featuring space personalities such as Michel Mayor - Nobel Prize winner, Daniel Neuenschwander - ESA, and Emmanuelle David- Executive Director of eSpace. Chloé Carrière - @galacticchloe - offered them a nice moment of discussion, and they were able to meet the student space teams after the conference.

An intense day of learning and discovery! Thanks for your visit, kids, and see you soon for more space adventures!

Thank you for your presence!

On November 6, engineers @mathieu_udriot and Marnix Verkammen hosted the 4th Sustainable Space Hub coffee at @epflcampus.

September and October have been intense with several events and conferences that included the topic of space sustainability:

- The 3rd Workshop on “Life Cycle Assessment of Space Transportation Systems” in Stuttgart
- The Clean Space Days 2024 at ESTEC in the Netherlands
- The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Milano

The EPFL Space Center staffs that attended one or more of these conferences took the opportunity to compile lessons learnt and a summary of international research to share with the EPFL community.
