Technology

1gSpace vehicles are engineered for sustained 1 g acceleration to maintain Earth-equivalent gravity while executing deep-space trajectories. This operating regime minimizes deconditioning, simplifies crew biomechanics, and yields efficient point-to-point transfer profiles within mission Δv and power budgets.

Crewed platforms such as ISV Proxima and ISV Innes employ modular habitats designed for multi-year service. Subsystems include closed-loop ECLSS for air and water recovery, graded-density radiation protection, and adaptive environmental controls. Mission facilities integrate research labs, next-generation medical capability, recreation zones, and in-situ manufacturing via additive processes for tools and spares.

Communication architectures combine precision timing with optical deep-space links for high-integrity data return. Robotic free-flyers and surface/structure manipulators support external inspection, maintenance, and resource handling. Thermal management relies on high-emissivity radiators with engineered heat transport paths; where thermodynamically admissible, waste-heat scavenging augments shipboard power, with rejection sized to worst-case loads.

Operational oversight is provided by AURAI, a redundant autonomous control system that allocates propulsion and power, schedules resources, mitigates debris and micrometeoroid risk, and governs environmental controls. Predictive analytics and health-management models enforce margins, while real-time monitoring safeguards flight-critical functions across both crewed and unmanned assets.
