To support the ESA’s projects, and because mobility on the surface of other celestial bodies is already a major challenge for the coming decades, Venturi Space (Monaco, France and Switzerland) is getting ahead of the curve – by building an advanced rover – MONA LUNA.
Venturi creates the first European astromobile
Objective: to explore the lunar South Pole from 2030
Venturi Space is keen to forge a partnership with the ESA, by providing a comprehensive LTV service that includes everything from designing to operating the vehicle.
Venturi Space is building on its real-world experience acquired with the rover created by its strategic US partner Venturi Astrolab, Inc. for which it designed the wheels and batteries.
