Seville | Spain's Space Capital

Postcards from other worlds
2025-03-10 - 2025-12-08 | Sevilla
This immersive experience invites us to travel through the solar system with some of the space probes that have photographed its planets and many of its satellites.
For millennia, the planets were nothing more than tiny dots of light to us. With the invention of the telescope, Jupiter’s bands and Saturn’s rings could be observed, and little by little, satellites of these planets were discovered. But any attempt to represent what a landscape of other worlds would look like belonged, with varying degrees of success, to the realm of science fiction.
Over sixty years of space exploration, all the planets in the solar system and most of their satellites have been photographed. Apart from their scientific value, these images show us landscapes never before imagined. Today, we have been able to see in detail the giant volcanoes of Mars, the rings of Saturn, the surface of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the impressive frozen deserts of Europa, the methane lakes of Titan, the vertiginous cliffs of Miranda and the geysers of Enceladus, among many other incredible ‘postcards’ offered by our solar system.
With the purchase of a ticket to any of the sessions between 4 and 10 October, CaixaForum will give you another one for free!

This is the world’s largest STEM Hackathon, a competition held in multiple cities around the world under the umbrella of NASA. Over the course of a weekend, young people with an interest in the field (from all educational levels, with a special focus on university students and vocational training), working in multidisciplinary groups, will propose solutions to challenges posed at the global level by NASA and nine other international agencies. After the group work, participants will present their proposals to a jury made up of professionals from the sector, entities, and organizations, who will deliberate and announce the winning group of the edition, with the national winners competing at the international level. For their proposed solutions, the young people will have the support of mentors, technical specialists in business models, and helpers who are knowledgeable about the space sector.
The event begins on Friday at 5:00 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. On Saturday, October 4, and Sunday, October 5, the hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
It is held in person in 250 cities over 48 hours, making it the largest gathering of young entrepreneurial talent in the world. This year, we will be in six Spanish cities (Seville and Malaga in Andalusia) with 70-80 students in Seville.
The final winners will travel to Cape Canaveral to NASA’s facilities and will try to time their visit to coincide with a rocket launch so that they can be there to witness it.
The mission is to solve a real challenge by proposing a business project related to current issues presented by a leading entrepreneur and, in any case, linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Stratospheric Launch - FyCUS
2025-10-04 - 2025-10-10 | Aeródromo Los Alcores (LEAH), Aeródromo los Alcores. SE-3202, Mairena del Alcor, Sevilla, 41510, Spain
Our balloon launch is a stratospheric flight that will ascend to an altitude of approximately 30 km in October 2025 from the province of Seville. The gondola will carry a functional model (engineering model) of our future CubeSat and a package of environmental sensors. During the ascent, parachute descent, and ground recovery, temperatures of -60°C, near-vacuum pressures, and high levels of UV radiation will be measured, replicating the quasi-space conditions in which the orbital satellite will operate. All data will be transmitted in real time via radio communications (LoRA) to a ground station and recorded in the onboard memory for later analysis.
Program
FyCUS invites you to experience, in three chapters, an authentic journey into the stratosphere:
Mission Briefing
Informative talk at ETSI where we will present the engineering of our CubeSat 1 U, the environmental sensors that will travel on board, and the scientific objectives of the flight.
Stratospheric Launch
Takeoff of a sounding balloon from the Seville countryside that will reach 30 km. The public will be able to follow it live, in person and via streaming.
Data, Science, and Return
Informative talk where we will open the recorded data, explain how a quasi-space environment is analyzed, and show the impact on the design of the future orbital CubeSat.
Three milestones, one experience: discover how a satellite is tested in our own atmosphere.
