Celestial Futures is a foresight initiative that expands our understanding of risk and opportunity as we push the physical and technological frontiers of outer space. Building on Celestial Sovereign—which mapped the technological, geopolitical, and economic impacts of space mining—it explores energy sources, geospatial misinformation, data centers, biosynthetics, and AI in space; and expands the narratives of space futures centering the voices of Indigenous scientists, conservationists, and futurists.
Across five countries, the project explores how to reveal and leverage the unknown unknowns of resource utilization in space.
Fieldwork within organizations including:
Centre for Existential Risk, Committee for Peaceful Uses of Outer Space at the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, European Space Agency, Future of Humanity Institute, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Harvard Law School, MIT Center for Bits and Atoms, National Center for Remote Sensing, Air and Space Law, Planetary Resources, and SES Satellites.
