Outfitting space stations and moon bases
A frontier lab for the human body in space, and a consultancy working at the intersection of space architecture and commercial markets.
One designs where crews live. The other keeps them healthy there.
Space architecture and the economy that builds it
Space architecture shows what life beyond Earth could look like. A reliable space economy is what gets it built. Stellar Amenities designs habitats, interiors and crew quarters, and helps companies, firms, museums, investors and studios bring space technology to market. Its commercial work funds and informs the Lab.
A frontier lab for the human body in space
Stellar Amenities Lab, based in San Francisco, researches and develops the systems that keep crews healthy on long missions, and carries them from TRL 4 to flight with agencies and companies.
National priority · August 2026
The White House named crewed spaceflight enablers a critical and emerging technology for national security. Keeping crews healthy is now a matter of national interest.

American human spaceflight leads the world. In the next decade, crews will live on new stations, return to the Moon and stay away from Earth longer than ever, and the systems that keep them healthy will have to keep up. We have the chance to build those systems now, and we are starting with five problems.
From a documented gap to flight-ready technology.

What we're building
Two examples of our work are a calibrated model of the human body in partial gravity and an evidence engine for ultrasound in space.
Founding partnerStellar Amenities, the consultancy
Established in Los Angeles in 2019, Stellar Amenities is a strategic advisory firm that helps companies win and deliver space contracts. It works on procurement strategy, business development for commercial LEO destinations, and the market intelligence behind both. Its roots are in space architecture, and its portfolio spans habitats, interiors, furniture and crew health hardware.
We work alongside space agencies, universities and nonprofits to find the problems crews need solved.
