Moon on Earth

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency (ESA) inaugurated today the new LUNA facility, the lunar analogue facility for the preparation of future human and robotic missions to the Moon.

The facility, which is designed to recreate the lunar surface, is located next to ESA’s European Astronaut Centre and will be used to prepare astronauts, scientists, engineers and mission experts for living and working on the Moon.
