The guided tour participants could observe first-hand how the real time International Space Station (ISS) operations environment works. In detail, the participants can visit our clean room, the fluids laboratory and, of course, our control room. In the clean room, currently without any engineering model from the ISS, the participants could see the nanosatellite QBITO, currently in development. In the laboratory, our researchers explained and performed a demonstration of the last experiment about Vibrated Fluids they are working on as well as other of the electronic projects currently being developed.  Lastly, in the control room, they could see first-hand how the real time operations environment for ISS experiments is, with real time audio and video from the Station. Also, for a better understanding of our work, a short briefing was given about the ISS itself, overall ISS operations environment description and the E-USOC role on it.

The Science Week is an annual event that tries to bring science and technology closer to the citizens. Around 1000 free activities were in this edition’s agenda. The activities offered ranged from guided tours, to workshops as well as roundtables or open door days. Each of them from a different perspective or field but always focused on putting into general knowledge the investigation activities carried in the Community of Madrid.

In this edition, around 50 participants attended our visits. Among them, the Aeromechanics students of IES Raul Vazquez . We are very sorry for not being able to accommodate all the interested people due to the limited seating capacity. We truly wish you enjoyed the visit and we wish to see you in future occasions.

During the E-USOC guided tour, the participants had the opportunity to visit our facilities, which covers the clean room, the fluids laboratory and of course, our control room. In the clean room the participants could see the engineering model of the SODI DCMIX3 experiment. In the laboratory, our researchers explained and performed a demonstration of the last experiment about Vibrated Fluids they are working on. Lastly, in the control room, they could see first-hand how the real time operations environment for International Space Station (ISS) experiments is, with real time audio and video from the ISS. Also, for a better understanding of our work, a short briefing was given about the global ISS operations environment and the E-USOC role on it.

Our specific activity consist on a facility tour. On the first part, visitors could attend to a short presentation about E-USOC activity: Space Operations and Infrastructure; with the advantage that the could see, through the glass outside the control room, how the real time operations work. Subsequently, they visited the science laboratory accompanied with a researcher, who gives an explanation about latest microgravity experiment.

We hope everyone enjoyed the visit and we sincerely apologize those people who could not attend the activity because of the modification on the initial scheduling (due to our operation’s activity we had to change the visit planned from November 18th to November13th). Anyhow, if you are interested in visiting our centre don’t hesitate to contact us.
