Buzz Aldrin lecture tops stellar list of events for Summer of Space

Up to 50 events, featuring rocket launches and talks by astronauts, including legendary moonwalker Buzz Aldrin will take place in Cork during a two-month celebration of space exploration.

From June 26 to August 25, Cork Institute of Technology plays host to the International Space University’s annual Space Studies. Also, Blackrock Castle Observatory (BCO) celebrates 10 years as an award-winning science and discovery centre.

Summer of Space is the broadest public engagement programme ever organised by a host country during a space studies programme.
