Walk of Space

A Walk of Space has been under construction on Noordwijk's Koningin Wilhelmina Boulevard since 2013.

18 tiles

The first tile was the one with the print of Wubbo Ockels' astronaut boots. There are now 18 tiles with hand and footprints of famous astronauts. And new astronauts will follow again this year and in the years to come. So in Noordwijk, you can literally walk in the footsteps of your favorite astronaut. The hand or footprints of the astronauts already there are:

  • Wubbo Ockels
  • André Kuipers
  • Lodewijk van den Berg
  • Ed Mitchell
  • Frank de Winne
  • Paolo Nespoli
  • Alexander Gerst
