Aurora Cosmos
A self-sustaining orbital civilization engineered for the long future of humanity.
Not a fantasy. A structural proposal.

Not science fiction — structure
Humanity has spent decades discussing colonization. Aurora begins with something quieter: structure. Before politics. Before economics. Before optimism. Structure.
Aurora is conceived as a rotating orbital habitat — 20 kilometers in diameter — generating artificial gravity at roughly 0.24 RPM. It is not built on speculation. It is built on geometry.
Why Aurora exists
Most long-term space visions depend on proximity to the Sun. Aurora does not.
Positioned along an Aldrin-style cycler trajectory, Aurora is imagined as a continuously traveling civilization node — a bridge between worlds rather than a settlement tied to one.
Not a colony. An architecture of continuity.
Engineering foundations
Radiation mitigation
Regolith shielding and multi-layer water mass attenuation — layered, redundant, serviceable.
Structural manufacturing
Induction-forged hull elements and modular segments designed for iterative fabrication at scale.
Autonomous construction
Robotic construction and industrial systems (Lumera) designed to build, repair, and expand.
Closed-loop systems
Environmental cycles designed as a system, not an accessory — with graceful failure modes.
The design does not assume miracles. It assumes iteration. Every system is modular. Every failure is containable. Every layer serves more than one function. Resilience is designed, not hoped for.
The book
Aurora Cosmos is presented as narrative — but beneath the story lies a structural blueprint. The printed edition includes a technical glossary expanding the core principles behind artificial gravity, radiation mitigation, orbital mechanics, and autonomous industrial systems.
It is fiction only in format.
(You can replace the placeholders above with your Draft2Digital universal link and any glossary page.)
Civilizations are rarely limited by imagination.
They are limited by integration.

Beyond the last chapter
Aurora continues through video explorations, concept models, structural simulations, and ongoing discussions. The world of Aurora does not end with the book. It begins with it.
