Outreach

Our outreach initiative aims to engage the wider community in our journey from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space. Through educational programs, public seminars, and interactive exhibits, we seek to inspire future generations of scientists, engineers, and explorers.


By sharing our discoveries and the challenges of extreme environment research, we hope to foster a deeper appreciation for our planet and the boundless opportunities beyond. Join us in this adventure to illuminate the unknown, one mission at a time.

Research opportunities

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SCIENCE PARTNERS

UHAB-3 combines a marine laboratory and a manned exploration platform, offering space researchers a practical setting for technology and procedure trials. It features a versatile payload rack for plug-and-play experiments, catering to various power needs and ethernet connectivity. An open call will soon invite academia and industry to contribute experiments.


Payload examples are: on space exploration, controlled environment horticulture, or additive manufacturing, with selections based on scientific merit and relevance. Participants are tasked with developing and transporting their payloads to Copenhagen, while SAGA oversees installation and operations.

Area of research

Astronaut training

Staying underwater is the closest feeling to being in space, and sets high demands on our architecture to perform, be stimulating, and non-claustrophobic. Underwater habitats can provide valuable insights into the physical and psychological challenges faced by astronauts during long-term space missions.

technology Development

By offering local companies a platform to test space-flight hardware under challenging conditions, it will foster innovation and encourage a step-by-step approach to technological advancements.

marine biology

By studying marine life, we can develop sustainable solutions to address environmental issues. Prioritizing the preservation and enhancement of our oceans is crucial to understand the ecosystems of our planet and combating climate change. Living in a fully submerged underwater habitat offers the opportunity to extend time on the ocean floor without the need for decompression after each dive.

Education

We keep our design process transparent, sharing our knowledge through talks, exhibitions, and workshops with students and companies. These platforms focus on fostering creative problem-solving, design thinking, and prototyping.
