In early June, the Politehnica University of Science and Technology in Bucharest hosted a new edition of Poli SpaceFest, the place where technology developers meet astronauts and astro physicists to present their latest achievements in the effort to explore space.
A number of high-profile astronauts were invited as special guests this year: Michael Lopez Alegria, Susan Kilrain and Dominic Antonelli, whom the public were very eager to meet, ask questions and take pictures with.
SpaceFest 2024 brought many other interesting workshops and presentations to the general public, including AR and VR immersive experiences, satellite workshops, real-life homemade rocket launches, but also students for school children, space art, technology and innovation exhibitions, as well as countless other activities for visiting families.
