Bern celebrates 50 years since the moon landing

A science festival will be celebrated in Bern on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing from June 27 to 30, 2019. The University of Bern and Bern Welcome are delighted that the European Space Agency ESA is supporting Bern's activities as a partner. On July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 Mission started its successful flight to the moon. On board was the Solar Wind Composition Experiment (SWC). This solar wind sail was planned and evaluated by Johannes Geiss at the University of Bern's Physics Institute. It had been first set up on the moon by Buzz Aldrin. Due to Bern's close connection with the moon landing, a festival will be held in summer for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in and around Bern.
