Living in space is a design choice

Stellar Amenities Lab is a commercial lab focused on keeping people healthy in space. We mature crew health and habitation technology across the gap between the lab and flight, and build companies around what we mature. From time to time we also invest in outside teams working on the same problems. Based in San Francisco, the Lab works with agencies, station operators and universities to make it easier for people to live and work beyond Earth. You can read more about our mission in our founding note.
