Center Noordung is located in Vitanje, north-eastern Slovenia, which lies in a basin that is surrounded by the hilly landscape on the slopes of south-western Pohorje and the Karavanke extension. As the name implies, Center Noordung is dedicated to one of the pioneers of space science, Herman Potočnik Noordung. His 1929 book The Problem of Space Travel – the Rocket Engine was an inspiration to many scientists in the development of space technologies, as well as to all those who developed humanities, cultural and other social fields related to space.
