Exhibitions
Exhibitors will host booths to connect with conference attendees and showcase their work.
MIT SDM - Systems Design and Management
A joint master's program between MIT's Sloan School of Management and School of Engineering, SDM trains engineers and technical leaders to tackle the world's most complex systems challenges. SDM graduates apply rigorous systems thinking across engineering, management, and policy.
Dassai Moon Project
What happens when you brew premium sake in space? Dassai, one of Japan's most celebrated sake breweries, launched the Dassai Moon Project to find out — fermenting sake aboard the International Space Station in collaboration with space researchers. The project explores how microgravity affects the fermentation process, blending centuries of Japanese craft with cutting-edge in-space biology.
Massachusetts Space Consortium
A statewide network uniting space researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts across Massachusetts, the Space Consortium is on a mission to democratize space knowledge and build a connected, thriving space community. From organizing Massachusetts Space Week to bridging academia and industry, the Consortium is helping ensure that the next space age is built right here in Massachusetts.
MIT AeroAstro Space Systems Engineering
MIT's flagship graduate course in space systems engineering, 16.89 challenges students to design ambitious, real-world space architectures from the ground up. This semester's cohort is tackling one of the most exciting frontiers in the industry: designing an AI-powered orbital data center. From requirements development to preliminary design review, students are applying state-of-the-art systems engineering methods to solve the computational and infrastructure challenges of putting artificial intelligence in orbit.
MIT LunaRecycle Team: Team CERBERUZ
Composites for Extraterrestrial Recycling By Engineering the Reuse and Upcycling of Zotek — is a concept developed by an MIT student team developing a recycling and manufacturing system for long-duration lunar and deep space missions. Winners of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of NASA's LunaRecycle Challenge and awarded $150,000, CERBERUZ transforms hard-to-recycle logistics waste, including foam, plastics, and metals, into thermoplastic composite materials and additive manufacturing feedstock using injection molding, filament extrusion. The team is now advancing to the finals in August, where they will demonstrate their prototype and digital twin solutions in front of NASA's judges.
