About ESA Open Day

ESA Open Day is a public event scheduled for 25 September 2026 at ESA ESRIN, Frascati, Italy. The 2026 ESA public event in Frascati brings earth observation missions, satellite data and applications, climate and environmental monitoring and mission facilities together rather than treating them as separate subjects. The 2026 ESA public event in Frascati uses a public-facing format that interprets the host site’s missions, facilities and technical work for non-specialist visitors. This format gives members of the public a practical way to compare technical priorities, current applications and the organisations active at the 2026 ESA public event in Frascati. For the 2026 ESA public event in Frascati, the connection between earth observation missions and satellite data and applications is central: one establishes the primary subject, while the other shows how that work is developed, tested or applied.
