Spartan Space

Spartan Space, founded in 2021 and based in Grenoble, France, is a space company focused on developing solutions for human intervention in extreme environments, specifically lunar habitats. The company’s core business centers around the design and development of these habitats, with a key project being the Eurohab module. Spartan Space is actively involved in testing and validation through simulations; notably, they have conducted multiple one-week lunar mission simulations utilizing the Eurohab module at the DLR/ESA LUNA facility.

A significant portion of Spartan Space’s work involves advanced technology development for lunar surface operations. This includes the development of a Dusty Thermal Vacuum Chamber (DTVC) for ESA, and notably, the co-development of an intravehicular (IVA) spacesuit – the “EUROSUIT” – in partnership with CNES, MEDES, and DECATHLON. They are also contributing to the I-HAB module for the Lunar Gateway, having developed and exhibited interior mock-ups.

Spartan Space partners closely with major European space organizations like ESA and CNES, indicating a strong position within the European space ecosystem. Their work on the Versatile Berthing and Observation Bay (BOB) module for ESA further demonstrates their capabilities in contributing to larger-scale lunar infrastructure projects.

While a relatively young company, Spartan Space is quickly establishing itself as a key player in the development of lunar habitats and associated technologies, with a focus on practical testing and collaboration with leading space agencies and industry partners.
