BOXABL has unveiled a conceptual off-world habitation system named UFO (Unidentified Folding Object), designed to address the challenges of transporting and deploying livable structures beyond Earth. The concept, featured in the company’s recently released video “LIVE ON THE MOON (Part 1) — UFO by BOXABL,” is based on foldable building intellectual property that would allow habitats to launch in a compact configuration and expand into larger living spaces after deployment.
According to BOXABL, the concept was developed by an after-hours skunkworks engineering team and is intended to support future lunar and planetary settlement scenarios through modular, linkable structures that could be used for research, tourism and support operations. The company also indicated it plans to make the UFO intellectual property available on a royalty-free basis to encourage broader innovation in off-world habitation systems, while emphasizing that the project remains separate from its core mission of advancing housing affordability and construction efficiency on Earth.
The announcement highlights BOXABL's innovative approach to modular building systems, which have already attracted worldwide attention with its flagship product, the Casita, a 361 square foot studio unit that unfolds on-site in less than an hour. The company also offers the Baby Box, a smaller 120 square foot unit built to RV code, and is developing stackable and connectable box models for townhomes, multifamily units, or larger single-family homes.
BOXABL's foray into off-world habitats underscores the potential of its core technology to address extreme environments. The UFO concept represents a speculative but technically grounded vision for expanding human presence into space, leveraging the same principles of compact folding and rapid deployment that define its terrestrial products.
