Documentation and information centre

An integral part of the Air and Space Academy’s activities, the documentation and information centre is fast becoming, with the collaboration of other players, a veritable activity and resource centre, a relay for information in the areas of aeronautics and space.

These documentary resources cover all aerospace sectors with special emphasis on the sciences and technologies of aeronautics, astronomy, astronautics, military engineering, air and space law and art.
