Three technologies. One mission: power and move CLV-1 on the Moon!

For Venturi @Astrolab_Space’s Crewed Lunar Vehicle, @Venturi_Space is delivering critical systems engineered for the extremes of the lunar South Pole:

🛞 Hyper-deformable wheels
🔋 High-performance batteries
⚡ A battery management system

 From mobility to energy, Venturi Space technologies are built for one purpose: enabling sustained exploration where failure is not an option.

At Choose France, the summit dedicated to France’s economic attractiveness, @Venturi_Space announced a €250 million investment in France to establish its new 16,000 sq m technology centre in Toulouse. The site will be dedicated to the design and manufacture of critical technologies for lunar and Martian mobility, as well as to the assembly of the rovers developed by the company.

From Apollo to Artemis… humanity’s return to the Moon!

New missions, new goals, and a future that could take us all the way to Mars.

For the Artemis III mission, there have been recent updates. While it was initially planned for 2027 with a lunar landing, it is now designed as a low Earth orbit demonstration mission, focusing on rendezvous and docking between the Orion spacecraft and commercial lunar landers.

Another critical technology powering the next generation of lunar rovers? The Battery Management System (BMS), already onboard MONA LUNA!

Developed by Venturi Space’s Toulouse-based teams, the BMS is embedded within the lunar battery and continuously monitors the health, status, and temperature of each cell, adjusting energy delivery in real time. Every 10 milliseconds, voltage is tracked alongside multiple thermal data points to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity.

More than just a control system, the BMS acts as a vital safeguard, protecting the battery from degradation in one of the harshest environments. At the Moon’s South Pole, where night lasts up to 14 Earth days and temperatures range from -240°C to +130°C, the BMS plays a decisive role in managing both energy and thermal conditions, ensuring the rover’s survival.

At first glance, this suspension looks like something from an early 20th-century vehicle: a simple leaf spring.
But on the Moon, conventional dampers don’t work, fluids cannot handle the extreme temperature variations.

The solution?
A suspension that integrates damping directly within the spring itself.
Tested with the MONA LUNA rover at ESA–DLR’s LUNA facility in Cologne. 🌕

In the vast story of astronomy and space exploration, some women didn’t just participate, they changed the trajectory of history. Through perseverance, brilliance and courage, they opened doors that had long been closed and proved that talent knows no boundaries.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 (1750–1848) was the first woman to be recognised as a professional astronomer. Working alongside her brother William, she discovered several comets and became the first woman to receive a salary for scientific work. In 1828, she was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, a distinction that would not be granted to another woman for nearly two centuries. At a time when women were rarely allowed near scientific institutions, Caroline Herschel claimed her place among the stars.

𝗠𝗮𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 made history in 1992 as the first African American woman to travel into space aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. During this space mission, she carried a photograph of Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman to earn a pilot’s license, a tribute from one pioneer to another, across generations. A physician, engineer and former @nasa astronaut, she embodies multidisciplinary excellence. Beyond her space mission, Mae Jemison has dedicated her career to education, innovation and encouraging young people, especially girls, to pursue careers in science and technology without limits.

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗲́ became the first French woman in space in 1996. A doctor and scientist, she flew on both Russian and European missions, contributing to biomedical research in microgravity. By becoming the first French woman in space, she inspired a generation, including @esa Sophie Adenot, who grew up seeing that the dream was within reach. Her journey did not stop in orbit: she later served as a French minister and remained a strong advocate for science, research and European space cooperation.

Under a contract signed with the European Space Agency (@esa), Venturi Space has been conducting, since 1 January 2026, a risk-reduction study focusing on three key technologies for future lunar rovers.

Venturi Space will be able to test the hyper-deformable wheels, high-performance batteries, suspension system, and the egress system (the system enabling the rover to descend from the lander), using its MONA LUNA rover as the test platform for this campaign.

The test campaigns will take place within the LUNA building, jointly developed by ESA and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (@DLR_en).

Why do MONA LUNA’s wheels have a smooth tread?
Maximum contact, maximum efficiency!

“It is quite simply about achieving the largest possible contact surface. It is the same reason why a snow hiker chooses to wear snowshoes rather than crampons.”
— @astro_JFrancois, Astronaut and Venturi Space Ambassador

[VENTURI @Venturi]

Five months after being unveiled at the Paris Air Show, the European lunar rover MONA LUNA has successfully completed a test campaign at the European Space Agency’s (ESA) LUNA centre in Cologne, Germany.

A key outcome: the vehicle shows remarkable adaptability to loose soil, slopes, and obstacles. 🚀

Thanks to the @esa and the @cnes for their support!

🚀 Joyeux anniversaire de lancement à STS-66 ! Le 3 novembre 1994, l’astronaute de l’ESA @astro_JFrancois Clervoy décollait pour sa première mission spatiale à bord de la navette Atlantis 🇺🇸 !

La mission STS-66, consacrée à l’étude de l’atmosphère terrestre, durera 10 jours et 22 heures, au cours desquels l’équipage a effectué 174 orbites autour de la Terre !

🌍 Le programme scientifique embarquait dans la soute de la navette une dizaine d’instruments capables de mesurer plus de 200 composés chimiques, des plus abondants jusqu’aux gaz à l’état de traces. Parmi eux :
- SOLSPEC 🇫🇷, qui mesurait le rayonnement solaire (= énergie émise par le Soleil),
- SOLCON 🇧🇪, qui mesurait la constante solaire (= puissance du rayonnement solaire).

🦾 Aux commandes du bras robotique de la navette – dont il avait contribué à concevoir les interfaces de pilotage – Jean-François a déployé puis récupéré 8 jours plus tard le satellite d’étude de l’atmosphère CRISTA-SPAS 🇩🇪, qui a collecté ses données entre 40 et 70 km derrière la navette.

Parmi les autres objectifs de la mission :
- tester une trajectoire de rendez-vous spatial en vue de futurs amarrages à la station Mir (DTO 835),
- étudier si des virus 🦠 latents chez les astronautes pouvaient se réactiver sous l’effet du vol spatial (DSO 493),
- évaluer des caloducs (📸 3) = systèmes passifs de régulation thermique (HPP-2),
- permettre l’étude de l’influence de la pesanteur lors de la grossesse en faisant voler 10 rates gestantes 🐀 (PARE/NIR-R),
- étudier la croissance de cristaux de protéines 🔬 pour mieux comprendre leurs fonctions dans les organismes vivants (COS/TES et VDA/STES).

En attendant son affectation à une nouvelle mission, Jean-François participera notamment à la conception des interfaces de pilotage du futur bras robotique de la Station spatiale internationale !
