Lunar Outpost Europe
Based in Luxembourg City, Lunar Outpost Europe develops advanced thermal control and energy systems to ensure the survival and operation of space assets in the most extreme environments.
Our work on lunar night survivability enables infrastructure, human, and robotic systems to operate through prolonged darkness and sub-freezing temperatures. This capability is essential for establishing a sustained human presence in space.
LUX-Thermal ​
​
The LUX-Thermal platform and advanced thermal technologies provide critical power and heat during the harsh lunar night, enabling continuous rover operations and infrastructure support. From energy storage and heat transfer to insulation and autonomy, these innovations are key to unlocking long-term mobility and permanence on the Moon.
Missions
Lunar Voyage 1:
Lunar Outpost deployed the Active Thermal Switch (ATS) on the Lunar Outpost MAPP rover at the Moon’s South Pole in March 2025, allowing the rover to operate and collect data in one of the coldest regions in space.
Moonraker (ESA):
LOEU leads thermal design and MBSE for a LiDAR mapping mission to scan lunar poles and landing sites, supporting future missions and LUX-Thermal deployment.
External Services
TVAC Testing
At Lunar Outpost Europe, we bring deep expertise in thermal engineering to support your mission’s success through Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) testing. Our TVAC facility simulates the extreme thermal and vacuum conditions of space, with a temperature range from –60 °C to +120 °C, ensuring your components are mission-ready. Whether you're developing payloads, instruments, or full spacecraft subsystems, our agile, startup-driven approach ensures rapid turnaround, tailored support, and reliable results. Partner with us to de-risk your mission and accelerate your path to space.
