Mission Phases
Space+5 astronaut training will demonstrate viable avenues for web3 technologies in space: non-fungible tokens (NFTs), virtual & augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and metaverse environment integrations. We are amplifying our efforts with community collaborators to send NFTs on an upcoming space flight. The space-flown digital assets will then be auctioned and the proceeds will be donated to AstroAccess.

Space+ Presented by Uplift Aerospace
Welcome to the democratization of space flight. We want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to explore the far reaches of space through our Starborn collection and metaverse. Our goal is nothing less than pioneering new technologies for a multi-planetary, inclusive economy.
