Events are fast approaching – preparations for the LUNA inauguration are in full swing

The excitement for the inauguration of the LUNA facility is unmistakable. Almost daily, new shipments of equipment arrive.

The past few weeks have been marked by intensive preparations as the joint team from ESA and DLR works toward a historic event that could represent a significant step for future lunar missions. The inauguration promises not only another important “small step for mankind” in space exploration but also the presentation of cutting-edge technologies and innovative concepts for lunar exploration.

In recent months, various expert teams have tirelessly worked to complete the LUNA facility, develop safety protocols, and meet the necessary logistical and infrastructural requirements. “We are excited about the progress made here,” say all those who have had the opportunity to experience the facility in its current state during the outfitting works. The day of celebration is fast approaching.
