ESTEC, The European Space Research and Technology Centre of The European Space Agency (europeanspaceagency ) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Portrait of Szilvia Szmolka szmolkaszilvi / Material & Processing Evaluation Engineer, in front of the STAR-II facility.STAR-II is a machine that simultaneously measures various synergistic effects on one sample (mostly the effects of different radiations: UV, electron gun, proton gun). This unique machine reproduces a “star indoor” effect to simulate accelerated life for materials on spacecraft around planets of our solar system.
