Did you know…?
The surface temperature of the Sun is…
around 6,000˚C, although it is estimated that the core reaches 16 million degrees Celsius.
The driving force behind the design of the first space suit was…
Emilio Herrera, a military and aerospace engineer from Granada who, in 1935, created the ‘stratonautical diving suit’, a pressurised suit to be used in stratospheric flights
The distance of one light year in kilometres is approximately…
9.46 trillion kilometres! It is the length travelled by light in 365 days and is used to measure the distances between most celestial bodies
Our Sun…
is more massive than the average star in its surroundings
The cameras on most mobile devices…
are based on the CMOS sensor developed by NASA in the late 1980s to take photos of Earth from space while consuming very little energy
The Sun contains 99.9% of…
all the matter in our Solar System
To be considered a planet, a celestial body must…
orbit around a star, be nearly spherical, and not share its orbit with other objects. Pluto lost its status as a planet in 2006 for failing to meet this last requirement
The lenses used in scratch-resistant sunglasses…
are coated with a diamond-like carbon film that protected astronauts' visors from space dust
Computed axial tomography or CAT…
uses digital image processing technology that originated in NASA's Apollo programme to study samples collected on the Moon
The mass of a star determines…
its temperature, its luminosity, and its color, as well as the way it will live and die

About us
Launched by Seville City Council in 2018 to boost the city’s involvement in ‘World Space Week’—in which Seville had already been participating since 2016— the Space Forum was established as a public-private governance model with a supra-local focus, committed to strengthening the space sector through communication, outreach and education.
The Space Forum has established itself as a space for collaboration, dialogue and shared strategy based on trust, generosity and the voluntary participation of the more than 50 organisations that make it up, including public administrations, research centres, universities, associations, major companies in the sector and start-ups.
SEVILLE Spain's Space Capital
Seville is consolidating its position as one of the world’s leading aerospace hubs by integrating the space sector as a key driver of its economy. Against this backdrop, Seville City Council is championing the ‘Seville Spanish Space Capital’ initiative, with the goal of solidifying the city’s standing as a leader in space sector research, development, and innovation. This initiative is coordinated through the Seville Space Forum, a platform that brings together over 50 sector entities, and is reinforced by Seville’s membership of the Ariane Cities Community (ACC), a network integrating the leading European cities in the space sector.
