Nexus Aurora are pleased to once again be participating in IAC!

Who We Are

  • Nexus Aurora is a community based project incubator. Our goal is to create open source solutions to the complex problems of permanent space settlement.
  • Initially brought together for the Mars Society City State Competition, Nexus Aurora has grown to be a global collaboration working to develop solutions to the extreme challenges of living in space. Emphasis is placed on education and broad cooperative connections.
  • Our global community of 1200 members consists of Students, Engineers, Doctors, Scientists, Lawyers, Architects and business leaders. All united in the shared dream of designing solutions supporting human habitation in space.

 

What We Do

Nexus Aurora incubates ideas in a project forum.

To date there are 20+ completed projects including:

  • Winning the Mars Society City State Competition
  • Designs for new styles of habitats conforming to new paradigms in the space industry

Join our Journey

At Nexus we want to encourage everyone to be included.

After the Scientists and Engineers complete the work getting us to Space, everyone else will be needed to work to populate it. Hairdressers, singers, builders, electricians, teachers and shopkeepers. A sustainable society needs all people and industry working together.
