The European Space Agency (ESA) is entering a bold new phase of lunar exploration, setting its sights on establishing a sustainable and independent European presence on the moon. Building upon decades of international collaboration and innovation, ESA's lunar ambitions focus on supporting robotic and human missions as part of the global effort to return to the lunar surface in the coming decades.
Central to Europe's efforts are two major initiatives: the Argonaut lunar lander and LUNA, a lunar simulation and training facility.
