From Earth to the Moon : 2 decades of expertise, now dedicated to the space industry through our strategic partnership with Venturi Astrolab. The cells that constitute FLEX's battery packs come from the automotive industry. From a technical point of view, this choice brings with it a number of constraints. These include the need to withstand the low temperatures of the lunar South Pole (-230°C), the absence of atmosphere and the very high levels of solar radiation. #FromMonacoToTheMoon #Venturi #FLEX

[First preview] Each cell in Astrolab's FLEX rover battery undergoes a series of tests in our Monegasque laboratory. These include - successive charges and discharges,  - thermal runaway, - storage, - quality control. Want to learn more? Stay tuned. 🔋 #FromMonacoToTheMoon #Venturi #FLEX

- 26 world speed records on two and four wheels, - 8 seasons in the Formula Electric world championship, - A polar exploration vehicle, ... and many more. The experience built up over two decades is now being applied to the design and manufacture of the battery packs that will power FLEX, the lunar rover developed by our strategic partner Astrolab. #FromMonacoToTheMoon #Venturi #FLEX

#Hiring - We are currently recruiting for the position of Technical Director (Toulouse, France).

“Through our strategic partnership with Astrolab, I am proud to see the Venturi Group’s know-how validated by NASA. After 20 years of innovation and world speed records in the field of terrestrial electric vehicles, we are now involved in an adventure that will go down in the history books: when Man returns to the Moon! When I see this rover, equipped with our wheels and batteries, operating up there I will have made my greatest dream come true”. – Gildo Pastor, President of the Venturi Group. #Venturi #FLEX #FromMonacoToTheMoon #Space NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Celebrating International Women's Day 🌟 Let’s introduce you to three remarkable women who are making significant strides in the fields of science, exploration, and innovation. 🚀🔬🌌 Dr. Sian Proctor, a scientist and geology professor at Maricopa Community Colleges, is an Afrofuturism artist and astronaut. The Chief Inspiration Astronaut of Space2inspire and the founder of the Proctor Foundation for Art and Science, Dr. Proctor etched her name in history as the mission pilot for SpaceX Inspiration4, the first all-civilian orbital mission. She is the first female commercial astronaut spaceship pilot and the only African-American woman to hold this role, embodying excellence and an innovative spirit. Dr. Proctor is also the first African-American commercial astronaut and the first African-American to practice painting in space. Currently, she contributes her expertise as a member of the National Space Council Users’ Advisory Group and is one of The Explorer’s Club 50: Fifty People Changing the World. Her motto, “Space2inspire,” encourages everyone to harness their unique strengths and passions to inspire themselves and others.  🚀 Next up: Professor Sara Seager, a leading figure in Planetary Science, Physics, and Aeronautics at MIT. Her pioneering research has significantly influenced our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres, particularly in the search for signs of life through atmospheric biosignature gases. Professor Seager’s involvement in space-based exoplanet searches includes critical roles in the MIT-led NASA mission TESS and as the Principal Investigator for the JPL/MIT CubeSat ASTERIA. She is a key figure in the development of the Starshade Rendezvous Mission to directly image and characterize Earth analogs. With a PhD from Harvard University and membership in the National Academy of Sciences, Professor Seager continues to push the boundaries of space exploration, inspiring generations to come. 🔬 Lastly, we have Merieme Chadid, a distinguished Explorer and Astronomer, renowned for her innovative achievements. As the first astronomer to spearhead the installation of a large astronomical observatory in Antarctica, she left an indelible mark by planting the flag of Morocco at the South Pole. Chadid’s contributions include being one of the pioneering astronomers to deploy VLT telescopes in the Atacama desert in Chile, the driest desert on Earth.Her remarkable efforts have earned her recognition from the MY HERO project and a  place among Forbes Magazine's list of the 30 most fascinating workers worldwide. 🌌 We celebrate these extraordinary women and all the women making a difference every day! 💪 #InternationalWomensDay #Venturi #Space #Innovation #FutureTech
