The Path Forward
A complete, open concept — ready for refinement, simulation, and eventual implementation.
- 01
Finalize detailed hub structural and docking specifications.
- 02
Define the exact internal configurations for each of the six roles.
- 03
Establish Earth-side production and launch cadence requirements.
- 04
Open technical collaboration with vehicle providers and propulsion teams.
Operating principles
6.2 — EthosOpen architecture
The concept is public and non-proprietary by design.
Maximum reuse
Lean on existing hardware wherever it already flies.
Build now
Ruthless focus on what can be built in the present decade.
Continuous iteration
Refine relentlessly on the basis of real flight data.
OAKHEART is presented as a complete, open concept ready for refinement, simulation, and eventual implementation by any organization capable of flying Starship-class vehicles.
The infrastructure exists. The architecture is defined. The only remaining step is to build it.
OAKHEART
One architecture. The entire inner solar system.
