About
Dr. Cody Paige is pioneering the intersection of virtual reality and in-situ resource utilization for next-generation space exploration. Her research focuses on two critical pillars: developing advanced depth-data acquisition methods for mission operations and creating sustainable lunar infrastructure using regolith-based construction. In her highly cited 2022 paper, "Assessment of Depth Data Acquisition Methods for Virtual Reality Mission Operations Support Tools," Dr. Paige addresses the paradigm shift required for NASA’s return to the Moon and long-duration Mars missions, demonstrating how VR tools can manage increasing operational complexity. Her 2025 work, "Moon BRICCSS," introduces an innovative approach to radiation shielding by leveraging lunar regolith for corbelled construction, directly supporting the Artemis Accords' vision for sustainable human presence. Additionally, the "Azure Kinect à La Luna (AKALL)" project showcases her ingenuity in adapting low-cost commercial RGB-D cameras for lunar 3D reconstruction, encapsulated in a portable Docker container. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory toward enabling permanent off-world habitats, Dr. Paige is establishing herself as a key voice in the next wave of space exploration technology—where virtual tools and lunar materials converge to make long-duration missions feasible.
