ESA and NASA astronauts, in collaboration with Thales Alenia Space, have conducted critical Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) tests on the Lunar I-Hab module in Turin, Italy. These tests, involving full-scale mock-ups, aim to assess and improve the ergonomics and habitability of the module, which is part of the Gateway and the Artemis programme. Feedback from experienced astronauts will guide design improvements, ensuring the module supports life and operations effectively. This milestone marks significant progress in the European contribution to lunar exploration.
NASA's initial Gateway elements, the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Module (HALO), are preparing for systems installations as the agency reviews progress to set a new launch date. Originally scheduled for September 2025, the launch has been delayed, with a conservative estimate now set for December 2027. The Gateway will serve as a lunar space station for Artemis missions, with the PPE and HALO launching together on a Falcon Heavy rocket.
ESA's Spacelab module, which launched 40 years ago, marked the beginning of Europe's involvement in crewed modules for space exploration. Since then, Europe has contributed various modules to the International Space Station (ISS) and is currently working on modules for the Gateway station that will orbit the Moon. The modules are made using advanced welding techniques and are designed to be smaller yet stronger than previous modules. The I-Hab module, part of the Gateway station, is being tested for compatibility with other modules and will serve as living quarters for crews of four for up to 30 days at a time. Europe's module development is expected to continue with plans for lunar surface modules for a future Moon base.
