I deliberately limited the scope of this map to spacecraft operations assets, since including development/research would increase the number of data points considerably, and therefore decrease the maps readability. So for the time being it only features - apart from launch, landing and communications facilities - mission control centers for missions beyond Earth orbit. For ESA, that is only ESOC, afaik.<br /><br />Provided enough interest, I'd be willing to make an interactive zoomable map with *all the* space exploration assets. Suggestions are welcome!Olaf Frohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972366271093616700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751987719119242151.post-32476101011993557632016-01-31T22:13:40.550+01:002016-01-31T22:13:40.550+01:00Olaf, great map you made.

In the Netherlands we have ESTEC, the European Space Research and Technology Centre. That is the European Space Agency's main technology development and test centre for spacecraft and space technology in Noordwijk.
