Graz is considered the Austrian gateway to space. As long-standing cooperation partners, Joanneum Reserach and VRVis therefore invite the public to an evening dedicated to space research "made in Austria". Prominent speakers will demonstrate how space technology from Austria serves as an initial spark for new solutions in the industry, the creation and maintenance of infrastructure, mining, and many other highly attractive application areas for the domestic economy.
Get to know Austrian contributions to space probes. Travel with us virtually to Mars. Look down on Earth from orbit. Learn how a mini-satellite or a rocket engine works.
