Terra Labs is building the infrastructure of closed living systems. Hardware that knows its own state, heals an ecosystem on Earth, and keeps a crew alive in space.
Each is a bounded world with a boundary you can measure, compartments you can couple, and variables you can never see directly. The mathematics is the same. We solve it once, in hardware, with a single inference engine that estimates the whole living system, including what no sensor can reach.
Synthetic Gaia is a sealed, living cell that makes its own oxygen, recovers its own water, and forecasts a breach before it happens. The same cell scales from a benchtop instrument to a fifty-crew habitat on the surface of the moon.
Explore the habitatSteer a living ecosystem to a target state, on purpose, with defensible numbers.
Water, air, and growth become one self-running cell on a single inference core.
The habitat array, tiled from cells already proven on the ground.
Three coupled compartments, atmospheric, marine, and terrestrial, circle one inference core. It senses, infers the hidden state, predicts the trajectory, acts before the limit, and learns. Every cycle compounds.
Go insideBiosphere 2 lost its oxygen to a carbon sink no instrument was watching. Our engine recovers exactly that kind of hidden variable, with an uncertainty bound, before it would end the mission. The science is dissertation research at Oregon State University, published, and released open source. The hardware is the artifact. The science is the moat.
We are building the physical and intellectual infrastructure of closed-systems biology, from the coast to the continent to the next worlds we inhabit. Each phase produces the revenue, the evidence, or the position the next one needs. The path to the moon runs through the mud, and it pays for itself along the way.
Terra Labs is raising a pre-seed round to build the first products and the first deployments. If you invest in the infrastructure of the next century, let us talk.
