Space Architecture, R&D
Astro SpArch
Our mission is to ensure astronauts (career, tourists and any professionals spending significant time in space) can perform their duties at the highest level by assisting/supporting with the design of space habitats, providing a truly interdisciplinary service to our clients and developing architectural space radiation shieldings (patents pending) to ensure safe space exploration by humans with possible auxiliary activities.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
AIAA Space Architecture book
Eszter Gulacsi was invited to write a chapter on space radiation protection for the upcoming Space Architecture book, edited by the brilliant Olga Bannova and Sandra Haeuplik-Meusburger.
As an AIAA and Space Architecture Technical Committee member, it's a real honour to contribute to this book and work with such hardworking, experienced people.
PAST EVENTS and NEWS:
ASCE Earth&Space conference 2026
13-16 April - Earth&Space 2026
Our paper on "Comparison and analysis of advanced materials for space radiation protection for human space exploration" in the series of design solutions to tackle space radiation has been presented in Houston (TX, USA). The paper was peered reviewed and will be published in due course.
IAF Spring Meeting 2026
First time in person, I attended the IAF Spring at the end of March 2026, held in Paris (France). Before the Space Habitat Committee meeting, I had the honour to join the Space Exploration Committee meeting as an observer. It was very enlightening and had interesting discussions with many people. Learning more about how abstracts are chosen for the International Astronautical Congress, and to help out, was also a great experience.
14-18 October - IAC Milan
We were at the International Astronautical Congress in Milan.
We attended 3 space architecture sessions (E.5.1, A5.4, E5.6), spent time at the WIA-E booth, at the Regione Piemonte booth, and we presented our paper on the last day.
Thank you for the invigorating chats.
Space Radiation experiment at the NASA Space Radiation Lab (NSRL) - 13-22 May 2024
We had the opportunity to test our technologies' capability of radiation reduction against Galactic Cosmic Rays simulation at the NSRL lab at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. It was wonderful to be able to learn from the nuclear and particle physicists at NSRL and collaborate with them to improve the details of the radiation experiment to get useful data that helps us develop our radiation shieldings.

IEEE EUROCON - 7 July 2023
The IEEE EUROCON2023 poster competition was an amazing experience for us at the Politecnico di Torino.
We had the chance to introduce our business to a large audience, and answer lots of fungi questions.
Special thank you to Nirav Patel for bringing our poster design to life!
Our website is still under construction, it keeps evolving with us.
Please bear with us while we correct all the glitches and mishaps.
Integration, testing and the rollout take some time but the launch will be worth the wait.

We are here to support you and your engineers
Astro Space Architecture is here to help with systems engineering questions keeping the human factors in mind, to design space habitats and to fill the gap between disciplinaries.
