Took our HI-FI suit for a spin on a zero-gravity flight!
Our intra-vehicular suit stimulates targeted nodes across the body to help prevent bone and muscle loss during extended exposure to microgravity.
This project was built with an amazing team — @mishmish2424 , @narahdeeb@realxdd44 — and instructed by
@skylartibbits , @codyalison , and legendary astronaut Jeff Hoffman, who flew with us 🚀
On March 6th, MIT landed on the Moon for the first time since the Apollo era, and I had the incredible opportunity to design and build the mission control room where payloads on the lunar surface were monitored from Earth.
Luna: The Mission Control Room is a pure compression, self-supporting structure made from cellular glass blocks.
This project was developed in collaboration with @skylartibbits , @nebyu.haile , @bizarro_slmn , @j.roc.jih , and John Ochsendorf.
Luna is currently on display in the Media Lab lobby—go see her, she’s beautiful.
Special thanks to the Space Exploration Initiative and the Inploration team for this amazing opportunity.

Ad Luna.
Ad Astra.
Building Luna with these two absolute powerhouses- blood, sweat, tears and excessive levels of caffeine😂 . Forever in awe, forever grateful. @bizarro_slmn@nebyu.haile
Meet Momo, our self-assembling lunar habitat, targeted to support Artemis III, slated for late 2026 to early 2027. Momo will be the first crewed lunar landing for the Artemis missions. The habitat is designed for two people and is a semi-permanent structure that is prefabricated and assembled on Earth. It self-expands on the moon. Compacted for storage as cargo, it expands upon landing. This maximizes construction on Earth and minimizes construction on the moon. Momo is a small research habitat with all the necessary facilities to ensure survival for our explorers as they lay the groundwork for future, long-term lunar settlement.
In collaboration with: @mitarchitecture , @mitaeroastro , @mitmedialab
And done with the most amazing team:
