Making space for everyone since 2017
We welcome decision-makers and future-shapers from all backgrounds to collaborate with us. By working together, we can ensure that humanity’s journey beyond Earth advances progress, prosperity, and responsible stewardship. This will create lasting benefits for generations to come.
Knowledge creation
When we design teams and projects around big societal questions, we accelerate and extend our impact.
Learning programs
When we become skilled in the process of learning, we develop agency to change the world, on and off the planet.
Watch ‘Space for Humans’
Space For Humans is dedicated to designing inclusive futures both in space and here on Earth. We believe everyone deserves a place in the future of space exploration. Join us each week for videos from ASU faculty and students as we explore how cutting-edge space technologies are already transforming our world. How we design these technologies matters, because we are not just building rockets and satellites; we are shaping a future that impacts the lives of real people.
