[ TEAM ]
Artera is an early-stage team out of Space City, designing a constellation of autonomous agriculture pods — one Earth-analogue pod so far. Growing food in deep space is an agronomy problem wrapped in a spacecraft problem.
Shen Ge
Founder · Mission architect
Designs the spacecraft and the mission it flies: the layout that holds and supports the growth chamber alongside propulsion, power, controls, and navigation; and the trajectory and attitude that meet the economic and technical requirements.
Nicholas Romero
Founder · Business & platform
Runs the business and builds the platform underneath it: funding, partnerships, and the case a customer has to believe on one side; the growing system, its instrumentation, and the software that has to turn a harvest into a product on the other.
[ OPEN ROLES ]
Space crop production scientist
Controlled-environment growing
Own the grow and what it proves: nutrient chemistry, root-zone media, light as a photon budget, and the call on which result from a bench transfers to orbit and which does not.
Payload engineer
Flight qualification
Take the pod from a bench that works to hardware that survives the ride: interfaces with a launch integrator, vibration and thermal vacuum, materials, and the safety package.
Robotics & mechanisms engineer
Root zone, fluids & control
Solve water without gravity, then automate the hands that tend the crop: dosing, containment and recovery, robotic harvest and handling, and the sensors, firmware, and control law under all of it.
No formal process. Write to us and say which one.
[ GET IN TOUCH ]
Two people. A lot of surface area.
If none of those is you — an investor, a mission planner, someone who has flown a payload before — write anyway.
