bELGIuM - EURO SPACE STEM TOUR

Embark on an unforgettable 2–5 day student tour to Euro Space Belgium, where science and adventure meet. Alongside astronaut training and interactive space workshops, students will also enjoy local cultural highlights, including a sweet stop at the famous PJ Chocolate Factory to see Belgian chocolate-making in action. With additional visits to nearby attractions, this tour blends education, fun, and discovery into a truly memorable experience. 

MICROGRAVITY POOL

Experience assisted breathing in a closed environment and walking on the Moon, two metres under water.

MARS VILLAGE

Travel to the Red Planet and discover the life of the next space pioneers. Exploration, daily life, rover: you’ll be the commander of your Mars mission.

SPACE MISSION SIMULATION

Briefing on the American space shuttle, the phases of a mission and the various launch sites. Simulation in groups of maximum eight people. Two play the role of simulator pilot and commander and six have ground control roles (flight director, weather, launch director, etc.). Together they accomplish all of the real steps involved in a mission, from launch to landing to releasing a satellite and rendezvousing with the Space Station.

ASTRONAUT TRAINING SIMULATORS

Moonwalk & Marswalk XP: This chair on springs makes you weigh 1/6th on the Moon and 1/3rd on Mars of what you do on Earth and simulates walking on the Moon and Mars.

Multi-axis Unit: A chair mounted to spin on three different axis to reproduce the feeling of disorientation felt inside a spaceship when the rotational axis are not under control.

Rotating chair: The chair spins on a single axis to reproduce feelings of disorientation and vertigo. Explanation of the balance coordination centre. Measurement of recovery abilities.

Space rotor: You’ll test your ability to withstand gravity in our space centrifuge, the way astronauts do before leaving on a mission.

Freefall slide: Jump and free fall to experience weightlessness for a few moments.

Zero-gravity wall: The feeling of weightlessness is reproduced thanks to a hydraulic counterweight system on a metal structure 8m high x 10m long. Trainees can move up and down and from right to left to repair a satellite.

Space Flight Unit: Discover the Red Planet on board our spaceship.

MICROROCKET WORKSHOP

Water rocket and/or microrocket building and launch workshop (body, nose cone, fins, motor installation, braking and recovery system, etc.). The basics of propulsion theory and of the stability of rockets in flight.
