Star Harbor Space Academy

As the training grounds for commercial space travelers, Star Harbor Space Academy (SHSA) provides an immersive campus and state-of-the-art guest experience for space enthusiasts.

The academy’s program developed by the SHSA team and AOA include deep-water training pools for weightlessness, a centrifuge, high altitude shuttle trips, and immersive temporary living spaces for those on extended training sessions. The campus surrounding the academy lends to incubator labs driven by space technology, STEAM-based museums and teaching grounds, and convention square footage to gather the commercial space tourism industry on property. Our team provided master planning, guest experience design, cost estimation, branding, and scheduling services for the project. AOA continues to support SHSA through deliverables focused on pre-development as funding is secured.
