Space Exploration Initiative
50+ scientists, engineers, artists, and designers building our space future, led by Ariel Ekblaw @mitmedialab. Bringing 'Starfleet Academy' to life!
Every morning, the SEI team packed up their research equipment and cold weather gear before hiking out to their field site carrying spare parts and tools, extra batteries, cameras, a drone, rover, and generator.
Plans constantly evolved as high winds, rain, sinking mud, cold temperatures, snow cover, dwindling light, and the possibility of a polar bear encounter, all created extra challenges for the team and their robots.
Maggie Coblentz (@maggiecoblentz) and Sean Auffinger (@seanauffinger) were in charge of logistics to support the team’s safety and research, along with their Polar Bear Guard, Trond Storm Johansen, who’s lived on Svalbard for fifty years. He accompanied the team to each site to keep watch for bears so the researcher’s could focus on their work.

High in the Arctic, a team of space engineers, a geologist, architect, and designer went on a field expedition in Svalbard with the MIT Space Exploration Initiative.
Exploring Svalbard by boat and by foot, the team visited sites that will continue to inspire further science questions, and consider space technology development that could benefit both Earth and space contexts.
Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole.

“Locally grown food will be a big part of making future space missions possible, and could also benefit places on Earth where resources are limited.” Somayajulu Dhulipala (@somayajulu.dhulipala), is a PhD graduate student in MIT MechE (@mitmeche) on the @explorespace_ml Svalbard Expedition.
The AgriThrive plant habitat is an emergency preparedness system for plants in space, as well as polar regions and deserts on Earth. A miniaturized prototype is being tested in Svalbard under varying light conditions and cold temperatures.

Equipped with a custom camera tower made by Ferrous Ward (@ferrou5), and camera operations programmed by Don Derek Haddad (@9d3_live), the rover gathered additional data for Cody Paige (@codyalison) to recreate the geological environment in 3D.

“In addition to the science, we’re learning important operations on the field that could be applied to space exploration. Conducting fieldwork in remote locations means you need to problem solve and fix things with the limited resources you have with you.” Cody Paige (@codyalison), a PhD graduate student in MIT AeroAstro (@mitaeroastro), took part of the Svalbard expedition with the SEI team.
In Svalbard, Cody applied her background in geology and aerospace engineering to test the technological and scientific use of a virtual reality platform for remote geological exploration. This is part of MIT’s Resource Exploration and Science of our Cosmic Environment (RESOURCE) project. Throughout the expedition, Cody visited three distinct sites in Svalbard to collect visual and environmental data that will be used in their VR platform for scientists to later test and compare to traditional geological field methods.

Che-Wei is one of the researchers working on Zenolith. Zenolith is a zero gravity pointing device that gives astronauts a better sense of where they are in the universe. In the future, Zenolith researchers are planning to get Zenolith to the ISS for astronauts to interact with it. Zenolith flew on the SEI-chartered zero-G flight that took place last week!
