Aurelia’s Space Architecture Trade Study offers a deep dive on the current state of concepts and feasibility, as well as a resource for researchers and designers.

Aurelia Institute is thrilled to co-host the Humans in Space Symposium alongside Boryung and Axiom Space at ASCEND 2023, October 23-25 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Aurelia Academy’s first course brought students through a rigorous, hands-on training process to design, build, and test for microgravity in preparation for our next zero gravity flight.

“Humans In Space” initiative co-hosted by Boryng, Axiom Space, and Aurelia Institute will explore three interdisciplinary pillars of health, lifestyle, and platform in space in hopes of shaping the future of interplanetary civilization.

At DiSCuss#002, Chief Design Officer Sana Sharma presents the Astronaut Ethnography Project and how it informs her work at Aurelia Institute.

We’re excited to share updates on the largest-scale project we’ve undertaken to date — the TESSERAE Pavilion, a life-sized space habitat mockup.
