Zoppas Industries returns to Space Meetings Veneto 2026: powering the future of the lunar economy

Venice, Italy

11 – 13 May, 2026

The countdown has begun for the 2026 edition of Space Meetings Veneto, the premier international hub for the Space Economy. Set against the historic backdrop of Venice, this event brings together global leaders to explore the next frontier of aerospace innovation—and Zoppas Industries is once again at the heart of the conversation.

 

Beyond Orbit: Engineering for Deep Space

As the aerospace industry shifts its focus from Earth’s orbit to sustainable lunar presence, the demand for thermal reliability has never been higher. Building on our decades of heritage, Zoppas Industries continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in extreme environments.

 

A Legacy in the Making: The Artemis II Mission

Our presence at SMV26 is underscored by a major milestone: our contribution to Artemis II, humanity’s first crewed mission to the Moon in over half a century.

Zoppas Industries is proud to have supplied over 3,000 specialised heaters for the European Service Module (ESM) of the Orion spacecraft. Our technology acts as the „thermal shield“ for the ship’s vital organs, preventing propellant from freezing and ensuring that life-support electronics operate with surgical precision. This contribution isn’t just about hardware; it’s about securing the safety of the crew as they pave the way for future Mars exploration.
