Within the European Space Agency (ESA), Philippe Berthe is responsible for coordination on the ESM, the European Service Module of the Orion spacecraft. As with Artemis I in 2022, he will be a member of the Mission Management Team in Cap Canaveral and then Houston on the second flight of the programme, the first inhabited towards the Moon in more than half a century. Interview.
It is a subsidiary of Airbus which has manufactured the ESM, the centrepiece for supplying water, air and electricity to the crew en route to the Moon. In return, Europe must obtain tickets for its astronauts in future missions.
Much of Turin, and more generally, much of Piedmont, is behind NASA's highly anticipated Artemis II mission, which will return four astronauts to lunar orbit.

Many of the key components of the Orion spacecraft and its European Service Module were designed and manufactured in Turin and Piedmont. From the Service Module's structures to it…
This evening, an American rocket breaks out of Florida's ground. It takes four astronauts to the Moon. And it flies with a European engine. Orion's service module — designed and manufactured by Airbus in Bremen on behalf of the European Space Agency — provides the main propulsion, power supply, thermal management, and water and oxygen supply. Without it, the Orion capsule is only an empty hull. This contribution is both an industrial feat and a …
As the world prepares for the launch of Artemis II, the first mission with crew on the Moon in more than 50 years, the European service module Orion (ESM-2) is fully integrated, fuel-supplied and ready for flight. The ESM is built by Airbus on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA)....

When the four astronauts of Artemis II lift off to travel towards the Moon for the first time in over 50 years, Europe will be travelling with them – not only through the European Service Module that powers their spacecraft, but also through teams of engineers and medical specialists monitoring every move from Earth. From ESA centres in the Netherlands and Germany to NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston, European experts will follow the miss…
