Opel, a German automobile manufacturer and a subsidiary of Stellantis since 2021, has historically played a role in the early development of rocket technology and spaceflight. In the late 1920s, the company, under the leadership of Fritz von Opel, launched the Opel RAK program, achieving record-breaking runs with rocket-powered cars, motorcycles, and airplanes. More recently, Opel has explored concepts for space tourism, such as the Opel Corsa Moon II, a lunar vehicle concept designed for mobility on the moon. While primarily known for automobiles, Opel's historical involvement and conceptual designs connect it to the space industry.
