The ARX
The ARX is ARX STELLA’s vision for a new chapter in human space travel: a modular spacecraft where people can live, work, and explore beyond Earth. Its rotating habitat ring would simulate gravity, allowing crews to stand, walk, and carry out daily activities during long journeys, while interconnected modules would provide living quarters, laboratories, greenhouses, and dedicated nuclear power systems. Our manufacturing approach aims to turn this ambitious concept into infrastructure that can be built, assembled, and expanded—bringing us closer to sustained human journeys to Mars and beyond. The ARX represents our long-term commitment to building the foundations of humanity’s future in space.
ARX STELLA’s module concept features a 50-inch hatch intended to support crew access and equipment transfer between connected spaces. This rendering highlights the cylindrical exoshell and berthing interface envisioned as building blocks for future orbital habitats, laboratories, and mission infrastructure.
ARX STELLA’s vehicle docking module concept features a 35-inch hatch intended to enable crew passage and cargo transfer between visiting spacecraft and orbital infrastructure. This rendering highlights the docking interface and cylindrical exoshell envisioned to support transportation, resupply, and crew access for future space missions.
ARX STELLA’s airlock module concept features 50-inch hatches and standard Common Berthing Mechanisms (CBMs) for connection to orbital infrastructure. Envisioned to support crew preparation, equipment transfer, and spacewalk operations, the module provides a dedicated transition space between pressurized living and working areas and the external space environment.
Nuclear Modules
Self-contained energy modules including small modular reactors (SMRs), radiothermal electric generators (RTGs), and deployable power management systems. These units are built for redundancy and long-duration reliability on the lunar or Martian surface, or in orbit, and are fully shielded to comply with safety and launch standards. Each module can autonomously regulate output and interface with multiple ARX systems.
ARX STELLA’s nuclear module concept features a 50-inch hatch and a dedicated enclosure envisioned to house a compact reactor and supporting systems. Intended for future orbital and planetary surface power applications, the module combines our exoshell architecture with provisions for reactor integration and radiation shielding to support long-duration missions.
