Beyond next generation to an evolutionary leap
OVERVIEW
Expandable habitats redefine space real estate: lighter to launch, stronger in orbit, and unlock immense habitable volume. Traditional metal modules are heavy, costly, and constrained.

With enhanced micrometeoroid protection, interior versatility, and unmatched scalability across LEO, Moon and Mars, expandable habitats aren’t just the alternative, they’re an evolutionary leap.
EXPANSIVE VOLUME
Immense volume transforms the astronaut and customer experience
Fully reconfigurable interior, making full use of the 3-dimensional volume in zero gravity and maximizing crew wellbeing and effective operations in space.
Unique adaptive structures allow Astronauts to adapt and create working and living areas inside the space station even during a mission.
Safe / strong
3 x the safety
designed and built with 3 times required safety factors.
Many layers of materials like Kevlar outperform traditional aluminum and titanium.
All testing far exceeds NASA standards: thermal, compression, vibration, vacuum, micrometeoroid protection.

Low Cost
Radically economical
Less to launch. Less to produce.
Less mass than conventional heavy metal modules
Fewer launches with more habitat volume per flight
Simpler and faster production
pressurized volume is many times less cost per m³
HERITAGE
True, space‑tested legacy.
Expandable habitats have 40 years’ in-orbit testing.
All three habitats in LEO were designed and built by Max Space’s CTO
NASA extensively ground tested its TransHab expandable module
NASA supports Max Space today through Space Act Agreements
