Recently, ESA and the DLR German Aerospace Center rebranded our SpaceTweetup concept as ‘SocialSpace’. Now it’s time for our first SocialSpace.

We are inviting 60 of our followers on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and other platforms to a SocialSpace as part of German Aerospace Day on 22 September in Cologne, Germany.

A SocialSpace is an informal gathering of people who use various social media platforms to interact with DLR and ESA.

Participants on Sunday, 22 September will have an exclusive programme, with a variety of exciting topics in European space and aeronautics. The huge campus of DLR’s research site in Cologne, shared with ESA’s European Astronaut Centre, offers the ideal location. German Aerospace Day takes place here every two years.

This year’s event will feature a variety of attractions with exclusive access for DLR and ESA social media followers.
