The 'European Space Research and Technology Centre' ('ESTEC') is the European Space Agency's main technology development and test centre for spacecraft and space technology. It is situated in Noordwijk, South Holland, in the western Netherlands.
At ESTEC, about 2500 engineers, technicians and scientists work hands-on with spacecraft and space technology. The test centre provides extensive test facilities to verify the proper operation of spacecraft, such as the Large Space Simulator (LSS), acoustic and electromagnetic testing bays, multi-axis vibration tables. Almost all the equipment that ESA launches is tested prior to launch at this test facility.
