Le jardin d'Astrolabe

The Astrolabe is a modern visitor center located at the headquarters of the European Space Agency in Paris. It takes its name from the ancient Greek astronomical instrument used for centuries by navigators to determine latitude by observing the stars. This facility serves as the agency's first space fully open to the public, designed to bring the complexities of space exploration to a general audience. Visitors here engage with virtual reality technology to experience life aboard the International Space Station or view Earth from a global perspective. The space functions as an educational hub where you can explore how satellites monitor planetary health and track environmental data in real time.
