The ESA Mechanisms Section hosts its annual Space Mechanisms Final Presentation Day(s) to disseminate the results of research and development activities to interested parties from the ESA member states.

The Space Mechanisms Final Presentation Day(s) represent an opportunity to gain a complete overview of recently completed activities, and the possibility to discuss and share views on R&D directions, strategies, technologies and investments with colleagues from the space mechanisms community.
