Key Strategic Pillars

1. Lunar & Martian Ambitions

France is a critical partner in the Artemis IV mission. In 2026, the French space agency (CNES) is actively developing the SPSS instrument (as part of the Gateway project) and is preparing for the Epsilon mission, which will send French astronaut Sophie Adenot to the ISS to test medical technologies such as autonomous AI ultrasound essential for future Mars travel.

2. Reusable Propulsion & Launchers

To maintain European "strategic autonomy," France is heavily investing in the Themis reusable rocket demonstrator.

• Key Project: MaiaSpace (an ArianeGroup subsidiary) is leading the development of a reusable mini-launcher expected to significantly lower the cost of sending small exploration probes beyond LEO (Low Earth Orbit).

3. Deep Space Communication

As missions move further into the solar system, France is specializing in high-bandwidth laser communications. Companies like Thales Alenia Space are leading the development of deep-space ground segments and orbital relays that can handle the massive data loads of 4K video and high-res telemetry from Mars and beyond.
