Roadmap

After thermal, mechanical, and optical simulations carried by Dassault Systèmes, technical and scientific tests have been conducted to enable the opening and the closing of VITAE in the MoonBox (heating cabinet).

The first flight of a VITAE miniature was launched from Omaha Beach in Normandy, France, where stands another well-known artwork from Anilore Banon, Les Braves, the official sculpture of the 60th anniversary commemoration of the World War II D-Day.

Aboard SpaceX-10 Falcon 9 historical flight, a first prototype of VITAE reaches the International Space Station (ISS) to be tested in micro-gravity environment. The deployment test ran by ESA French Astronaut Thomas Pesquet was a success.

The Vi-Tal Parchment carries the essence of Vitae and has successfully been launch to the moon orbit.

The VITAE Project is now under the patronage of the French Ministry of Culture. A recognition and an encouragement for the next steps of the project.
