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 state-of-the-art 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 2.9 MEUR (31.7MSEK) 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.
“We are thrilled and honored to contribute to this mission in partnership with a leading North American Space Company,” says Edgar Milic, Managing Director of GomSpace Luxembourg. “This partnership opens exciting possibilities for humankind, for our country, and for GomSpace. It is a testament to the strength of our team, our deep-space heritage, and our growing ability to deliver complex missions with agility, precision, and purpose.”
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.
