ESA selects Thales Alenia Space‑led all‑European consortium for €600M Argonaut lunar lander
ESA selected a Thales Alenia Space‑led all‑European consortium to build Argonaut, a €600 million uncrewed lunar cargo lander to secure Europe’s autonomous access to the Moon. Contracts assign system integration, propulsion, GNC and data handling for a vehicle of roughly 10 tonnes and 6 m, applying lessons from past crashes.
