ENABLING SUSTAINED HUMAN PRESENCE IN ORBIT

RESEARCH DOMAINS

Sustained human presence in orbit requires integrated systems across human health, operations, and habitation. Our research focuses on how humans, environments, and spacecraft systems function together over long durations.

Akasha AstroSpace conducts research to inform the design of human-centric orbital habitation systems.

01

HUMAN HEALTH & PERFORMANCE

Understanding physical, cognitive, and psychological performance during long-duration missions in closed orbital environments.

02

HUMAN-SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Exploring how crew interact with spacecraft systems, interfaces, and autonomous operations over extended durations.

03

CREW OPERATIONS & AUTONOMY

Investigating methods that improve crew readiness, decision-making, and operational independence over long missions.

04

HABITATION SYSTEMS

Advancing approaches to designing living environments that support crew health, performance, and resilience in orbit, when immediate external support is unavailable.

DEVELOP ORBITAL HABITATION RESEARCH

We collaborate on research aligned with sustained human presence in orbit. Submissions are evaluated based on scientific merit, technical feasibility, and relevance to long-duration habitation systems.

Current collaboration focuses on conceptual research, modelling, and early-stage studies rather than flight hardware or operational programs.
