Expanding Beyond Earth

Interplanetary Expansion

Earth is undeniably humanity’s home, but we must expand beyond this planet to explore, learn, and preserve the human race.

Moon, Mars, and Beyond

Long-term human presences in outer space.

Sol Space is developing spacecraft designs and plans for humanity’s future beyond Earth, to learn and make scientific discoveries for the benefit of our species.

Humanity must explore and expand outward through different methods, from point-to-point transport to stationary infrastructure and planetary settlements.
