Looking back at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 (2025, 2024):
We had the great honor to host a new ESA mini #astronaut - that looks a bit like @Astro_Pablo_ESA - for few days at the camp, and then give it to Pablo! Thank you so much for accepting this little gift!
.. and this is a sort of tradition now, as @astro_marcus Wandt got his mini version in 2025, and it started in 2024 with @ESAastro_amelie Schoenenwald ! Thank you so much! And who will get an #ESA mini astronaut @playmobil figure during #ESASpaceCamp 2027?
