Building a better future for humanity everywhere—on Earth, in orbit, and beyond, through “Space for Earth” technologies.
Aurelia Institute is a non-profit space architecture R&D lab, education and outreach center, and policy hub dedicated to building and scaling humanity’s future in space for the explicit benefit of life on Earth.
We are focused on space station designs that democratize access to orbit, that enable entirely novel biotech in microgravity for revolutionary drugs and healthcare, and that offworld heavy industry to help Earth recover as a garden planet. Our team is paving a path towards an expansive in-space economy and an aspirational future for humanity where we scale space infrastructure for the public good.
Aurelia Institute is working toward establishing a new culture of space that is not just for astronauts and the privileged few, but also for artists and lawyers, healthcare professionals and teachers, essential workers, and tourists.
Our efforts are focused in three core areas:
- Space Architecture R&D
- Education & Outreach
- Policy
