INSIDE THE CORE MODULE:
ARCHITECTURE FOR EXTREMES
The CORE module is the foundational hardware layer of the HSIP platform — but what does that mean in practice? We break down the modular life-support architecture, the payload interface standard, and the engineering decisions that make CORE adaptable across four extreme environment domains.
IAC 2025 SYDNEY —
METAKOSMOS DEBRIEF
We presented the HSIP platform to the international space community at IAC 2025 in Sydney. Here's what we shared, the conversations that followed, and the collaborations that are now taking shape.
THERMAL REGULATION
IN HIGH-G ENVIRONMENTS
Managing metabolic heat in high-G flight environments is one of the least-discussed challenges in aviation human systems. Our LABS team reviews the current literature and presents preliminary findings from Phase 1 testing.
THE COMMERCIAL
SPACESUIT MARKET IN 2026
A landscape review of where the commercial spacesuit market stands today — the key players, the open gaps in the infrastructure layer, and why a platform-first approach changes the competitive calculus entirely.
WHY HUMAN SYSTEMS
NEED A PLATFORM LAYER
Every other critical engineering domain — aerospace, software, automotive — has converged on platform-first architecture. Human systems for extreme environments hasn't. Here's why that's the most important gap to close in the next decade.
PULSE TELEMETRY
ARCHITECTURE
The full technical specification of the PULSE telemetry subsystem — sensor architecture, data pipeline design, real-time processing approach and mission dashboard interface standard.
DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS —
AN ENGINEERING BRIEF
DCS remains the most significant risk for deep diving operations. This engineering brief reviews current understanding of dissolved gas physiology and outlines the suit-architecture requirements for safer subsea operations.

BEHIND THE FILM
The 4K documentary is now streaming on Apple TV. We sit down with the production team to talk about what it took to capture the engineering story of the HSIP platform on film.
