L'Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA) a attribué à Airbus le contrat d’étude CLTV (Cis-Lunar Transfer Vehicle) pour un croiseur lunaire, le « Moon Cruiser ». Selon le concept de l'étude (phase A/B1), le CLTV est un véhicule logistique polyvalent et autonome qui fournira, par exemple, un soutien opportun et efficace à la NASA et à l'ESA dans la mise en œuvre des futures missions lunaires Artemis. Le vaisseau spatial sera basé sur des technologies existantes et éprouvées et pourra compléter le polyvalent alunisseur logistique lourd européen (EL3).

Airbus ha sido galardonado con un estudio CLTV (Cis-Lunar Transfer Vehicle) para un "Crucero Lunar" (Moon Cruiser) por la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA). Según el concepto del estudio (Fase A/B1), el CLTV es un vehículo logístico autónomo y versátil que, por ejemplo, brindará apoyo oportuno y eficaz a la NASA y la ESA en la implementación de las futuras misiones lunares de Artemis. La nave espacial se basará en tecnologías existentes y probadas y complementará el gran módulo de aterrizaje logístico europeo multipropósito (EL3 – European Large Logistic Lander).

Airbus has been awarded a CLTV (Cis-Lunar Transfer Vehicle) study for a "Moon Cruiser" by the European Space Agency (ESA). According to the study concept (two parallel Phase A/B1), the CLTV is a versatile, autonomous logistics vehicle that could, for example, provide timely and efficient support to NASA and ESA in the implementation of the future Artemis Moon missions. The spacecraft will be based on existing and proven technologies and will complement the multipurpose European Large Logistic Lander (EL3).

Airbus hat von der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation (ESA) den Zuschlag für eine CLTV-Studie (Cis-Lunar Transfer Vehicle) für einen "Moon Cruiser" erhalten. Laut Studienkonzept (Phase A/B1) handelt es sich beim CLTV um ein vielseitiges, autonomes Logistikfahrzeug, das zum Beispiel die NASA und ESA bei der Durchführung der zukünftigen Artemis-Mondmissionen zeitnah und effizient unterstützen soll. Das Raumfahrzeug wird auf bestehenden und bewährten Technologien basieren und den europäischen Mehrzweck Large Logistic Lander (EL3) ergänzen.

Airbus Moon Cruiser at the Gateway
CLTV concept from Airbus
The execution of lunar missions, including landing on the Moon and setting up upcoming lunar space station, Gateway, is a complex and challenging task for the international community. It requires a precisely planned chain of supply and logistics missions. The Airbus Moon Cruiser concept supports these challenges
