Aliens observed

Mosaic art at ESA’s Earth observation centre ESRIN near Rome, Italy. French artist Invader is installing his iconic art at ESA establishments all over Europe and even on the International Space Station.

ESA has been monitoring Earth with its environmental satellites since the 1970s, keeping a constant watch over our planet by analysing satellite data to protect our environment.

The first space invader mosaic art was found by ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti during her Futura mission on the International Space Station. She installed ‘Space2’ in Europe’s Columbus space laboratory. Since then space-themed art has appeared at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, at ESA’s Redu Centre in Belgium, our space operations centre ESOC in Germanay and ESA’s technical heart in The Netherlands, and even took over ESA’s headquarters in Paris, France.

The installation of Invader’s art links the international character of ESA working on the frontiers of knowledge to use space for humanity’s benefit while fostering Europe’s competitiveness and growth.
