Commercial Space Tourism Advocate
About Tess Laurent
In 2027, Tess Laurent co-designed the 'Orbital Equity Framework', a regulatory blueprint adopted by three emerging spaceports that mandates sliding-scale pricing, multilingual crew training, and disability-inclusive cabin design for suborbital flights. She didn’t just lobby for access; she embedded accessibility into the engineering specs, test-flying in a modified VSS Unity capsule with a team of wheelchair-using aerospace engineers to validate zero-G mobility protocols. Her advocacy emerged from fieldwork, not policy rooms, but from spending 18 months living in desert launch communities near New Mexico and Western Australia, documenting how local economies transformed when tourism revenue funded schools and clean water infrastructure. Tess speaks in kilopascals and kilowatts, not metaphors, and her most cited paper analyzes the carbon amortization curve of reusable boosters versus high-altitude balloon platforms across five climate zones.
