About Spartan Space

Spartan Space is a French deep-tech startup developing smart habitats and life support systems for human exploration in extreme environments — space, stratosphere, and deep ocean. Founded in 2021, the company is headquartered in Marseille, France, with offices in Munich, Germany and Miami, USA.

The team is composed of senior space and underwater engineers, former astronauts, and architects. Spartan Space focuses on modular habitat design enabling long-duration human presence in low gravity environments including lunar surface, orbital stations, and subsea installations.

Key programmes include EUROHAB — a lunar surface habitat concept developed in collaboration with ESA — and EUROSUIT, an exploration suit for planetary surface operations. The company also develops LISE, a lightweight interactive space airlock, and CANDELABRA, a deployable lighting system for habitat exteriors.
