The exhibit will illustrate how varied ESA's space programme is as visitors will be able to see a large, 5.65-metre model of an Ariane 5 launcher; a full scale model of the Huygens probe that landed on Titan; a model of the Galileo constellation that will provide Europe's own global navigation satellite system; plus a model of Envisat, the largest Earth observation satellite ever built.

Young visitors and students will be particularly welcome and will find much to interest them, including a fun space quiz to test their knowledge of space and Europe's space activities.
