‘Dag van de Duurzaamheid’ with the Spacebuzz from André Kuipers

Tuesday 1 October is the ‘Dag van de Duurzaamheid’ (Sustainability Day), as part of Utrecht Science Week. This year’s theme is ‘a social and just sustainability transition’.  

A varied programme has been put together and there is plenty to do. The day will start with a plenary opening, followed by various workshops and the Green Market. During the day, you can also visit the Climate Casino, where you can test your knowledge with climate scientists. In addition, the Spacebuzz will be waiting for you outside for a special expedition to space.  

Travel to space with André Kuipers’ Spacebuzz 
The Spacebuzz is a more than 15-metre-long rocket vehicle equipped with the latest 4D Virtual Reality (VR) technology. On board, André Kuipers takes you on a 20-minute expedition to space.  

Astronauts see how exceptionally beautiful, but also how vulnerable our earth is, from space. This unique experience leads to a new perspective on the planet. That is the overview effect. On board André Kuipers’ SpaceBuzz you can experience the overview effect yourself. You take a real-life journey into space, which can change your view of the beautiful planet.   

For visitors to Sustainability Day, the Spacebuzz can be visited all day. If you come just for the Spacebuzz, you are welcome between 10:30 am and 12:00 pm. You can register for the flight at the venue at Genevelaan 7.
