In addition, Thales Alenia Space was chosen to build two modules for the first commercial space station planned by Axiom Space, and contributes to the Orion spacecraft. The company will also be contributing to VIPER, the NASA rover designed to look for water at the Moon’s South Pole. Thales Alenia Space is the only European company involved in the design of NASA’s Human Landing System (HLS), as part of the Dynetics-led consortium recently selected by the American space agency NASA. This program will also support plans to send humans to Mars in the near future. Gateway is part of NASA’s Artemis program, designed to land a crew on lunar soil by 2024.
Thales Alenia Space has confirmed its European leadership in space exploration and its world leadership in pressurized space station modules, since it will be supplying three key parts of the lunar space station Gateway: I-HAB, ESPRIT and HALO. Space to Explore: focus on a humanity return to the Moon and the exploration of Mars Thales Alenia Space, the joint company between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), is proud of the solid commitment of its people, and thanks its many customers, both public and private, whose agile and strengthened collaboration within the space ecosystem generated landmark successes in 2020 1, reflected in the company’s watchword, “Space for Life”.
