Welcome to the Space Shelters program! Our program is dedicated to developing innovative, sustainable, and efficient shelter solutions for use on Mars and beyond. Our shelters are designed to provide a comfortable and safe environment for up to four people, with features like oxygen production, heating, air conditioning, and an Earth-like interior. But our shelters aren’t just for space – we’re also exploring opportunities to bring our technology to Earth and the hospitality industry.
Our program is a collaborative effort between leading experts in architecture, engineering, design, and business, with the support of the Harvard Aerospace & Defense Alumni Organization (HADAO) at Harvard University. Our team is committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and creating a brighter future for all.
Whether you’re interested in investing in the program, sponsoring a project, or learning more about what we do, we invite you to explore our website and join us on our journey. Together, we can help to create a more sustainable, innovative, and exciting future for everyone.
Areas of focus
Mars Shelter Development
Our primary focus is the development of innovative, sustainable, and efficient shelter solutions for use on Mars. We're leveraging the latest technology, materials, and design techniques to create shelters supporting human life on the Red Planet.
Hospitality Industry
We're also exploring opportunities to bring our shelter technology to the hospitality industry on Earth. By adapting our shelters in remote and rural locations, we can provide guests with a unique and exciting experience while supporting sustainable tourism.
Education and Research
Finally, we're committed to advancing education and research in architecture, engineering, design, and business. We aim to inspire and educate the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers by partnering with leading academic institutions and organizations.
