About
Sarah J. Morgan is a leading figure in lunar exploration architecture, with a focus on enabling sustainable human presence on the Moon through innovative infrastructure. Her most recognized work centers on the design and application of the Multifunctional Expandable Lunar Lite & Tall Tower (MELLTT), a deployable 20-meter tower concept for the Lunar South Pole. This research directly addresses NASA’s strategic objectives by proposing a structure that can provide power, communications, and lighting to permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), which are critical for accessing water ice and other volatiles. While her highly specialized work has garnered 2 citations to date, its impact lies in its foundational role for future mission planning and technology development. Morgan’s contributions are notable for bridging engineering design with in-situ resource utilization, offering a practical solution to the extreme environmental challenges of polar lunar exploration. Her work exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking, systems-level thinking required for long-duration off-world habitation, making her a key voice in the next generation of space architects.
