Prove it works
before it has to.

ICEE.Space develops and tests technologies for future lunar operations on Earth. Our work focuses on spacesuit development, lunar-relevant testing at The Terminal in Delft and deployable habitat systems, supported by field campaigns in extreme environments.

Analogue astronaut missions are simulations as a means to develop and test technology while improving systems and gaining valuable insights into human behaviour and performance.

Through the utilisation of analogue missions, companies and researchers can foster innovation and acquire fresh perspectives on the challenges associated with operating in extreme environments, be it on Earth or in space.

01

Prove the concept at The Terminal.

Habitat, spacesuits, communications and Mission Control are installed and ready. Bring an early-stage prototype or procedure and test it in realistic mission conditions, from a few hours to a multi-day simulated mission.

02

Demonstrate it in the field.

For tests that require terrain, isolation, deployment or extended operations, we design and run field campaigns in extreme environments.

Mission Control

“It is great to see that ICEE.Space is dedicated to improving their analog mission expertise and aims to bring more experts onboard. Their recent analog mission crew selection process, which involved NASA astronauts and followed space agencies best practices, is a great example of their learning curve.”

Aleš Svoboda

ESA Astronaut Reserve

“Interpersonally and professionally a great team with a long-range and supportive network. One benefits from fast response times, solid advice and enthusiastic motivation.”

Instrument Scientist for ultra-fast physics at European XFEL and head of HR, Corps & Candidates at PARSEC Spaceflight

“The folks at ICEE.Space have been a wonderful help in providing information, sources, and expectations in our partnership with them. Regardless of if you’re a new group or have some missions under your belt, ICEE.Space can strengthen your plans and knowledge.”

What our clients have to say

Ways to work with ICEE.Space

Start with the test your objective requires.

Terminal testing

Run a controlled proof-of-concept test using the installed operating environment.

Custom research & integration

Run a controlled proof-of-concept test using the installed operating environment.

Systems & equipment access

Request individual systems, the Analogue Astronaut Kit, or technical support for an external programme.

Field campaigns

Commission a full campaign in an extreme environment with infrastructure, logistics and operational support.

A component can pass in the lab and fail in the mission.

Space hardware is used by people, alongside other systems, under time pressure and imperfect conditions — validating it in isolation rarely tells the whole story. ICEE.Space creates environments where teams evaluate hardware and interfaces with real users, crew procedures and decision-making, people and robots working together, and performance under isolation and operational stress — producing clearer results before the next stage of development.

Turning mission experience into repeatable testing capacity.

ICEE.Space combines a permanent test base, deployable systems and accumulated operational knowledge to develop and test technologies for future lunar operations. Investment supports both expanded testing capacity and the continued development of ICEE.Space systems, including its spacesuit technology.
