Help us visualise how much of the Universe we know and don’t know and win a trip to mission control as ESA’s Euclid mission launches into space no earlier than July to unlock the mysteries of the Dark Universe.

What’s in it for you?

The Euclid spacecraft will launch from Florida, USA, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, no earlier than July. Minutes after liftoff and separation from the launcher, the ESA team at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt will take control of the spacecraft, which will then journey 1.5 million km from Earth.

Enter the competition for a chance to win a trip to the Euclid launch activities in Darmstadt, Germany, sharing the tension and excitement with the teams that have built and will operate this mission. From the heart of European space operations you will witness the nerve-racking launch, separation from the launcher and Euclid’s first call back home.

One overall winner will be invited to Darmstadt, while nine runners-up will receive an ESA goody bag.
