Fast CoExist has a fascinating look into the European Space Agency, the ESA. Made up of 20 member nations, the ESA was established in 1975 and is headquartered in Paris. The photos show a stark yet humanistic side to the space agency’s work. Photos © by Edgar Martins.

For two years, following a lifelong obsession with space that led to his giant collection of sci-fi movies and astronaut memorabilia, Martins has been painstakingly documenting every aspect of the European Space Agency, the sprawling equivalent of NASA for 20 European countries.
