TERA
EARTH HABITAT
THE FUTURE OF LIVING ON EARTH
SPACE-DRIVEN TECHNOLOGY BROUGHT TO HOME
Welcome home to the most advanced, sustainable building ever conceived. Designed with Space-driven technology, TERA will be light years ahead of any known form of construction.
TERA is an ambitious mission which requires huge leaps in equipment and material technology. Our team is advancing the technologies required to build the machine which will build the TERA—and complete our mission.
MISSION
TERA is designed to be built from the same autonomous 3D printing technologies and materials we are developing for Space applications. Renewable and recyclable materials, especially when derived from in-situ resources, is inherently more sustainable than concrete and steel. TERA is challenging the building industry’s massive waste of single-use materials. by offering a simpler, more sustainable solution for building on this planet—while advancing the technologies for living on another.
EXTERIOR
POLYMER COMPOSITE 3D PRINTED SHELL
Like its predecessor (the NASA-award-winning Martian habitat MARSHA), TERA will be constructed from a 3D printed biopolymer composite – tested and validated by NASA to be 50% stronger in compression and more resistant to freeze-thaw than concrete.
INTERIOR
INTERIORS DESIGNED FOR EARTHLY COMFORT
MADE FOR SPACE, EVOLVED FOR EARTH
The transformation from MARSHA – AI SpaceFactory's NASA-award-winning Mars habitat – into TERA is a literal demonstration of how Space technology can reshape how we build and live on planet Earth. Modern construction has consumed vast amounts of energy and resources due to its dependence on single-use, carbon intensive materials such as cement. But if a TERA is demolished, its exterior shell can be fully recycled and reprinted, making way for future generations of sustainable buildings.
