Our mission is to develop and design structures for transportation, research, and habitat Stations in low earth orbit, deep space, and planetary environments tailored for balanced human-centric ecosystems.

To lead in establishing a permanent orbital settlement in Moon’s & Mars’s orbit and develop a Logistic ecosystem supports space stations, spacecraft, satellites, and planetary habitats. Our goal is to create a network that would bridge the transfer of research, resources, and astronauts across our geocentric and heliocentric systems.

We develop Human-Centric Spacecraft and habitat designs for long and short term space exhibitions. Covering the Project development from (Technology readiness Levels) TRL-1 through TRL-4, we create innovative design solutions that are tailored to the needs of astronauts living and working in space. With our designs we seek to promote the astronauts’ wellbeing and quality of life while maintaining best functionality for the intended mission in space.

MPE Module - Multi-Purpose Environment (MPE) Module

The Multi-Purpose Environment (MEP) Module launches on a SpaceX Starship or an equivalent rocket, with a total volume one-third that of the current International Space Station and large enough to accommodate two levels. It can support four astronauts for long-duration missions and their Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) as a stand-alone unit while still having 16 vertical racks for science experiments and research. 
The MEP Module is braced with a structural system designed to support a fully integrated solar array system capable of producing 400KW power. The solar array assembly is mounted on a truss system that houses the cooling systems, ELCs, Storage tanks, and other sub-systems to support the Module as a stand-alone or part of a network.

MPE Node - Multi-Purpose Environment (MPE) Node

The Multi-Purpose Environment (MEP) Node launches on a SpaceX Starship or an equivalent rocket, with a volume one-third that of the current International Space Station. It can support two astronauts for long-duration missions as a stand-alone unit with enough space for the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS), maintenance area, and storage. As part of a configuration, a Node could serve as an ECLSS hub capable of supporting 15 crew members for long-duration missions.
The MEP Node is braced with a structural system designed to support a fully integrated solar array system capable of producing 400KW power. The solar array assembly is mounted on a truss system that houses the cooling systems, ELCs, Storage tanks, and other sub-systems to support the Module as a stand-alone or part of a network.

EDEN VIM - Vertical-Inflatable Module (VIM)

The Vertical-Inflatable Module (VIM) launches on a SpaceX Starship or an equivalent rocket, with a volume 2/3 that of the current International Space Station and large enough to accommodate two levels. It can house 15 astronauts comfortably for long-duration missions.
