In an effort to preserve our past projects and operations we worked with Archive-It to record the website before the 2020 update. This is the previous website of Swissnex in Boston as it was when archived in March 2021. Please feel free to explore and delve into our history.

Swiss Touch in Space Exploration
Swissnex and SwissTouch joined forces at the Boston Museum of Science to showcase Switzerland’s expertise in space science and technology, and to foster international interdisciplinary conversations around the wider meaning of space exploration, from the Western scientific tradition to indigenous and alternative cosmologies.
Switzerland has been a discreet but key player in space research and industry since the 1960s. In the 1990s the continued Swiss pursuit for accuracy opened the field of exoplanetology with the discovery of 51 Pegasi B by Didier Queloz at the University of Geneva. Led by Willy Benz at the University of Bern, Switzerland launched its first satellite, CHEOPS, which is observing exoplanets from space.
