GomSpace Luxembourg announced its selection by a leading North American space company for a mission focused on lunar exploration. The mission marks a major step forward in the understanding of the solar system and in the capabilities of small satellite platforms for deep space exploration. The contract covers the initial design of two spacecrafts.
The spacecrafts will be designed with advanced technologies derived from the company's extensive experience in previous interplanetary missions such as the European Space Agency HERA/Juventas and RAMSES missions. The contract for this initial design is valued at EUR 2.9 million and is to be executed during the first half of 2026. A substantial portion of the project will be carried out in Luxembourg, boosting the country's capabilities in the design and delivery of space systems for exploration missions.
As space agencies and commercial companies continue to push further into the solar system, GomSpace's involvement in this mission underscores the growing importance of low-cost, agile, and modular spacecraft platforms.
