Our premise
Humanity is the reason we explore. Technology is how we endure the journey.
01Research
The human layer of spaceflight.
Body, mind and crew, studied with the machines and habitats they will depend on.
01.01Research domain
Space Robotics
Machines that work beside a crew, tested with the people who use them.
01.02Research domain
AI/ML in Space Biology
Learning from the body's data, gathered in analog studies.
01.03Research domain
Bioastronautics
How body and mind answer to spaceflight, and what holds them steady.
01.04Research domain
Space health
Keeping a crew well through isolation, altered gravity and altered light.
01.05Research domain
Microgravity Experimentation
Cells and systems under gravity we take away on Earth.
02Habitat
Where living beyond Earth is rehearsed.
The Analog Astronaut Research, Training & Validation Facility: crew, habitat and mission control run as one system, on Earth, until it holds.
02.01Inside
Built around the crew
Interiors, interfaces, air and sensing shaped by the people who have to live inside them.
02.02Analog missions
A mission, rehearsed on Earth
Crew, technology, procedures and mission control held in a single scenario, under the constraints of a lunar or Martian day.
03Technology
Technology in service of the human.
Suits, sensing and software, each shown at its real stage of maturity.
03.01Suits
EVA & IVA suits
Worn to work outside the habitat, and to live inside it.
