The Terminal
Analogue Astronaut Hub Delft

Space is closer than you think

Test your early-stage research at The Terminal

Limited availability for May and June 2026 Early mission pricing available

Most analogue facilities run long waitlists and are built for late-stage, high-readiness testing. The Terminal is different — ICEE.Space's permanent analogue hub in Delft, purpose-built for TRL 3–5 proof-of-concept testing and isolation research.

Built for the people pushing space forward


The Terminal is open to scientists, engineers, companies, space agencies, and individuals. If your work involves people, prototypes, or procedures and you need a controlled, mission-realistic environment to test them, this is your launchpad.
