NATIONAL OBSERVATORY OF ATHENS

The European Space Expo visits Athens, Greece from 28 March to 5 April 2015

Over 500 000 European citizens have now visited the European Space Expo, as it continues its tour of major European cities. The free exhibition highlights the many ways in which the EU space programme helps EU citizens ‘on the ground’ every day. The Expo presents key information on the European space programmes – from satellite navigation (Galileo and EGNOS) to Earth observation (Copernicus) in an engaging and entertaining way. Highlights include the ‘OmniGlobe’ – an interactive hologram of the earth’s atmosphere, an impressive model of the ‘Galileo’ satellite and lots more. See the detailed programme here.
