Barcelona Moon Team leader and Galactic Suite CEO, Xavier Claramunt, attended some weeks ago an interview, which is released now in the Altran Magazine in Spain.

In the interview, Claramunt presents its view on the Spanish space sector, which will be deeply affected by the general crisis involving Spain last years: the Spanish budget at ESA will be reduced drastically and so will be the contracts to the Spanish companies due to the georeturn policy in the European Space Agency. In this way, projects such as the Barcelona Moon Team are very important for the Spanish industry for it introduces private investment into the sector.

In the interview, Claramunt introduces the team members explaining its contributions to the project including Altran itself, GMV, CASA Espacio, INTA, GS Surface Operations, UPC along with China Great Wall Industry Corporation, launch provider.

Finally, Claramunt launches his vision on future space travel, which will “firmly bring human to other planets to live and work using its natural resources”.
