Welcome!

 

The 23rd Solar Orbiter Science Working Team Meeting will take place on 15-16 November 2018 at the School of Engineering, FHNW Windisch. The ESA mission Solar Orbiter will send a spacecraft to the sun for collecting information in multiple wavelengths and studying solar activity in unprecedented detail. One of 10 instruments onboard Solar Orbiter is the X-ray telescope STIX, designed and built at FHNW.

Getting there by air:
The two closest airports are Zurich Airport (ZRH) and Basel Euroairport (BSL).

Getting there by public transportation:
The building is a 3-minute walk away from the Brugg train station. (Windisch is adjacent to the city of Brugg – these 2 cities merged long time ago.) The station name is BRUGG AG. There are many trains. Train schedules and advance ticket purchase can be found at: www.rail.ch.

The Brugg railway station is located ~40 minutes from the station at Zurich Airport, ~30 minutes from Zurich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof, HB). There is a direct train from Zurich airport, but you can also take any connection to Zurich HB and change there.

From Basel Euroairport, you need to take a bus first to Basel Central Station, then there is a direct train every 30 minutes. The trip will take you about an hour.

Getting there by car:
There is parking in the building, but it tends to fill up early, so you may want to plan with the two alternative parkings:
Parking 1
Parking 2
