KTH Space Center organizes two Space Rendezvous each year, one during each academic period. It is a half day event filled with talks on a specific space-related topic. The theme this time is 'Towards Moon and Mars'. Several exciting speakers have been invited, including ESA astronaut Frank De Winne but also Mats Holmström (IRF-K) and Javier Martin Torres (LTU). The event will be held October 12 between 13-17. Below you can see the program for the day. The event will be held both on site (E1) and via Zoom.
