Stellar Amenities Lab is an American R&D lab in San Francisco.
2026 has seen more private investment in space than any year in history, with $92.5 billion invested in the first nine months. Yet human systems, the technology that keeps crews alive and healthy, account for less than 1% of the projected lunar economy. Now the White House has made crewed spaceflight enablers a national priority.
Our work focuses on four crew health risks from NASA’s Human Research Program roadmap for long-duration missions.
Featured
We turn known astronaut health problems into technology that flies.
Most promising space health technology stalls between the lab and flight, a gap known as the valley of death. Our work is built to get across it. Read our valley of death report →

Companies and products built from our research
Ethereal Matter
A full-body haptic EVA trainer. NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory trains spacewalks in a 6.2-million-gallon pool, and ARGOS offloads gravity with an overhead crane. Its platform, MEK, gives astronauts real force feedback in a compact system, without the pool or the rig.
Confidential product
A crew health system for in development with former NASA and commercial station leads, aimed at on NASA’s Human Research Program roadmap.
Helping companies win and deliver space work
Stellar Amenities · Advisory practice since 2019Stellar Amenities, our advisory practice, was established in Los Angeles in 2019. It helps companies win and deliver space contracts, with procurement strategy, business development for commercial LEO destinations and the market intelligence behind both. Its roots are in space architecture, with a portfolio that spans habitats, interiors, furniture and crew health hardware.
