Every year the ERC organisers invite special guests representing global astronautics. In recent years European Rover Challenge saw such people as Dr Harrison Schmitt – the last person to have walked on the Moon, and Prof. Scott Hubbard – former director of NASA Ames. Take a look at a list of impressive space icons who will come to Starachowice this year:
