A team at ESA's Space Operations Centre, ESOC, in Darmstadt, Darmstadt are seen here maintaining the link between a simulated astronaut on the International Space Station and the agency's Eurobot rover. The rover is one of the largest of its kind – the size of a small car. The signal from the 'astronaut' actually comes from two separate places: ESA's astronaut centre in Cologne, Germany and the B.USOC Belgian Space Station user operations centre.
