Curious what space travel might look like in the future?
A new installation at the Museum of Flight will serve as the first ever public exhibition of TESSERAE, a new modular space habitat designed to help make space travel comfortable (and hospitable to plants).
The TESSERAE module intends to help move human space habitat designs away from strictly confined, utilitarian designs to something expandable and easily modified for a variety of missions. The structure’s geometrical patterns also allow it to be flat packed for easy storage during launch.
TESSERAE is Aurelia Institute’s first test case toward some loftier goals like geodesic dome habitats, microgravity concert halls, and space cathedrals.
Would you give it a spin? See for yourself at The Museum of Flight when it lands at the “Home Beyond Earth” exhibit on Friday, Sept. 28.
