Tomorrow

To the Moon

As an expert in extreme cryogenics and a supplier of key molecules, Air Liquide is a major partner in sustainable space exploration. Its cutting-edge technologies are an essential building block for establishing the first prolonged human presence on the Moon. In particular, they will enable the refueling of space vehicles via stations in orbit, and the use and production of hydrogen in situ from lunar resources. The Group is already meeting these challenges with its partners in the sector, notably the ESA and NASA, to whom it supplied high-pressure nitrogen for the launch of the Artemis 1 mission to the Moon.
