About
Aaron Sentis is a visionary aerospace engineer whose research centers on lunar exploration infrastructure and in-situ resource utilization. His most notable contribution is the conceptualization of the Multifunctional Expandable Lunar Lite & Tall Tower (MELLTT), a deployable 20-meter tower designed for the Moon’s South Pole. This innovative structure would enable solar power generation, communications relay, and access to permanently shadowed regions (PSRs)—key areas for water-ice prospecting. By addressing NASA’s strategic goals for sustained lunar presence, Sentis’s work bridges the gap between current technology and future outpost needs. Though early in his career, his flagship paper has garnered attention for its bold, practical vision, earning 2 citations as a foundational reference for lunar architecture studies. Sentis’s research integrates systems engineering, materials science, and mission design, positioning him as a rising voice in space infrastructure. His work not only supports Artemis program objectives but also inspires students to think big about building on other worlds. With a focus on expandable habitats and polar operations, Sentis is shaping the blueprint for humanity’s return to the Moon.
