Aurelia Institute is building space infrastructure for the public good.
Space exploration has consistently delivered breakthrough innovations in countless fields. Aurelia Institute is leading a paradigm shift in space architecture to unlock new ways to build scalable, self-assembling, modular architecture in orbit. These R&D efforts are designed to scale up space infrastructure for the public good.
The vision that Dr. Ekblaw describes in her talk presents a new method for in-space construction dedicated to improving life on Earth, from creating large space station volumes for orbital biomanufacturing and disease treatment to scaling orbital infrastructure to deliver clean energy 24/7 anywhere on Earth.
How can you directly benefit life on Earth, through space?
From self-assembling space station designs that democratize access to LEO, to orbital research facilities that enable unique biotech discoveries, Ariel Ekblaw is paving a path towards an expansive in-space economy and a future in space that benefits life on Earth.

Your support enables Aurelia Institute’s core programs and projects:
Research & Innovation
Your support will enable us to build the infrastructure needed to grow the space economy. Aurelia Institute is an advanced technology research and development lab. Our experts are concerned with the materials, technologies, techniques that will make it possible to build larger-scale infrastructure for the public good. Projects like our self-assembling TESSERAE technology, Orbital Biolab Case Study, and Space Garden help scale humanity’s presence in space for the benefit of life on Earth.
Education & Outreach
Your support will help us train the next generation of spacefarers. Aurelia Institute creates and collaborates on outreach programs to engage broad audiences in direct spaceflight opportunities, educational courses like our Horizon Zero Gravity Program to train the next generation of spacefarers, and community building to grow a global professional membership network.
Policy Work
Your support will help us keep space open and accessible to all. Our policy arm considers the real and philosophical challenges of creating a functioning society in space–from the future of AI & space technology, to negotiating resource sharing in the “space commons,” to key governance questions for future human settlements.
Support space infrastructure for the public good with a larger gift.
Be part of something bigger that directly benefits life on Earth, through space.
