How is the European Astronaut Centre preparing for a lunar future? The European Astronaut Centre, right here in Cologne, is more than just a training facility. It’s a launchpad for Europe’s most ambitious space endeavors. Founded in 1990, the Centre has witnessed the evolution of Europe’s role in space exploration, from early Spacelab missions to a leading presence on the International Space Station. The EAC has played a vital role in this journey, training astronauts from across Europe and its international partners. Within these walls, astronauts undergo rigorous training, honing the skills needed to operate complex spacecraft systems, conduct scientific experiments in microgravity, and perform spacewalks. But the future holds even greater challenges and the European Astronaut Centre is rising to meet them. With the international lunar exploration program Artemis on the horizon, the EAC is gearing up to train the next generation of lunar explorers. Just imagine, soon astronauts will be taking their first steps on lunar soil. And the training for this giant leap for humankind will have taken place right here, at the European Astronaut Centre.
