About
Morgan Blevins is a visionary aerospace engineer whose work centers on lunar infrastructure, in-situ resource utilization, and the development of deployable structures for extreme environments. Her most notable contribution is the Multifunctional Expandable Lunar Lite & Tall Tower (MELLTT), a concept that could revolutionize how we explore the Moon’s South Pole. In her 2020 paper, Blevins and her MIT team proposed using a 20-meter tower to access sunlight and relay communications in permanently shadowed regions (PSRs)—areas critical for water ice and future habitation. Though early in its citation history (2 citations), the work has already shaped discussions in NASA’s Big Idea Challenge and inspired follow-up studies on polar infrastructure. Blevins’ research bridges engineering and planetary science, offering practical solutions for sustained lunar presence. Her achievements include leading interdisciplinary design teams and contributing to NASA’s Artemis objectives. For students and researchers, Blevins exemplifies how bold, systems-level thinking can turn sci-fi concepts into near-term mission enablers, making her a rising voice in space architecture and exploration.
