Why do MONA LUNA’s wheels have a smooth tread?
“It is quite simply about achieving the largest possible contact surface. It is the same reason why a snow hiker chooses to wear snowshoes rather than crampons.”
— Jean-François Clervoy, Astronaut and Venturi Space Ambassador

Where does space begin?
At the Kármán line.
The FAI defines it at 100 km above sea level, while NASA & the US Air Force use 80 km.
So, to truly claim you’ve been to space, you need to cross 100 km… plus 1 metre! Next time you look up at the sky, remember: space is only 100 km away. 🚀

20 July: International Moon Day
Who better to speak about our beautiful Moon… than someone who drove on it? 🌔
We are grateful to the Commander of the Apollo 15 mission, General David Scott, for sharing this with us.

Venturi Space unveils MONA LUNA, its 100% European-built lunar rover. Designed to support the ambitions of the @esa.int and the French @cnes.fr, the vehicle will be built at Venturi Space France's facility in Toulouse. The ultimate aim is to provide Europe with a lunar-capable rover by 2030.

What you’re seeing in this image is really happening no earlier than December 2025!
Our critical technologies – the hyper-deformable wheels and high-performance batteries – will be tested on the FLIP rover.
We are proud to share this adventure as a strategic partner with Venturi Astrolab, Inc. 🚀
