Level of Experience: Entry/Early Career/Mid/SeniorWho We AreCambrian Space is building a human-rated lunar habitat platform to enable a sustained human presence on the Moon and the lunar industrial economy that will follow. Our habitats are built around life. We engineer the conditions people take for granted on Earth (breathable air, stable pressure, controlled temperature and humidity) and make them dependable in one of the harshest environments humans have ever tried to live in. An economy beyond Earth depends on people being able to stay there. We’re building the infrastructure that makes that possible, starting on the Moon.
