Euro Space Center
So, does the idea of following in the footsteps of space pioneers excite you? Then meet us at our launch pad. On the agenda for the Spationaut Day, the ideal family excursion, you will spend no less than 5 hours of fun and wonder!
First of all, because we need to assess your abilities to become a true space hero, you'll start your training with aptitude tests in our Space Hub. Are you agile? Fast? Precise? Is your vision good or do you have an infallible sense of logic? You'll find out after taking these tests developed in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA)!
Didn't ace all the tests? No worries, now it's time for training! Step by step, you'll discover the sensations astronauts experience during their training and even on their missions.
Have you ever wondered what astronauts feel during a rocket launch? Enter the Space Rotor! Our centrifuge will let you experience the effects of a launch on the human body. Propelled at a speed close to 3G, or three times your own weight, you'll be glued to the walls as the floor drops away. Impressive, right?
Once back on Earth, you'll need to get familiar with lunar or Martian gravity, which, as you might guess, is different from Earth's. Enter the Moon Walk and Mars Walk XP! Take your first steps on the Moon and Mars in our simulator that will divide your weight by three or six. With the help of an augmented reality headset, a total immersion experience awaits you.
Walking is great, but flying is even better, right? Then head to the Space Flight Unit, the Martian flight simulator. Climb aboard your aircraft and navigate your way through the canyons of the red planet—we're counting on you to complete your mission successfully!
You’ve now safely arrived on Mars and will learn more about this planet, where humans have yet to set foot. In our Mars Village, you will discover the specificities of this planet, about which we still have much to learn!
Follow the steps carefully; preparation for the journey, transportation, landing, establishment of a Martian base, and the highlight—operating your own Martian rover remotely! As you can see, the Euro Space Center is the perfect family outing if you want to combine the useful with the enjoyable!

Découvrez la Nuit des étoiles, la grande fête de l’astronomie pour toute la famille au cœur de l'Euro Space Center.
Tous, petits et grands, amateurs ou passionnés, vous êtes attendus à l’Euro Space Center pour observer un des plus beaux ciels de l'année. À cette époque, la Terre croise un essaim de poussières et cailloux en provenance de la comète Swift-Tuttle. Ceux-ci se consument en pénétrant dans l'atmosphère à plus de 200 000 km/h et viennent zébrer le ciel d’autant d’étoiles filantes.
Au programme
Bien avant que le ciel ne s’obscurcisse et permette les observations, l'Euro Space Center vous propose des activités dès 16h30. Retrouvez des ateliers thématiques pour petits et grands, des conférences, l'observation des planètes en présence de nombreux clubs d’astronomie, des séances de planétarium commentées et beaucoup d'autres surprises à découvrir.
Conseil pour en prendre plein la vue
Munissez-vous de tout appareil d’observation dont vous disposez (jumelles, lunettes...) ainsi que de vêtements chauds, couvertures, lampes de poche, transats...
Venez vivre une nuit au plus près des étoiles en famille à l'Euro Space Center de Transinne !
