Paragon Space Development Corporation

Paragon Space Development Corporation Life support and thermal control solutions for extreme environments. Paragon – solutions that your life depends on . . .

Paragon is the premier provider of environmental controls for extreme and hazardous environments. We design, build, test and operate premier life support systems and leading thermal control products for astronauts, contaminated water divers, and other extreme environment adventurers, as well as for unmanned space and terrestrial applications. Four of our major programs include: Design, analyze, an

d manufacture the tubing for the environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) on the Orion spacecraft; Paragon Commercial Crew Transport-Air Revitalization System (CCT-ARS), a turnkey life support system built to meet or exceed NASA human flight safety standards; Program thermal lead for the Constellation Space Suit System; and the Paragon Dive System, (developed for the U.S. Navy, it protects divers working in contaminated waters and is derived from our space suit expertise). Founded in 1993, Paragon is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Tucson, AZ, with additional offices in Houston, TX, Denver, CO and Washington, DC.

Last week, our team participated in conversations around the future of the lunar surface and long-duration missions.

While there is strong momentum around infrastructure, robotics, and power systems, one important theme continues to emerge:
Sustaining human life in space requires equal focus.

Environmental Control & Life Support Systems—air, water, thermal stability, and human health systems—are foundational to long-term human presence on the Moon.

For decades, Paragon has supported these mission-critical technologies, and we remain committed to advancing the systems that enable safe and sustainable human exploration.

Welcome home to the Artemis II crew!!

The successful return of Artemis II marks an exciting step forward in human spaceflight and deep space exploration.

Missions like this highlight the importance of the systems that support human life—Environmental Control & Life Support Systems, thermal management, and human systems designed for extreme environments.

For more than three decades, Paragon has supported these mission-critical technologies.
This week, we’re attending the Space Symposium and look forward to connecting with others advancing the future of space exploration.

As Artemis II continues its historic journey beyond the far side of the Moon, it highlights what it truly takes to support humans in deep space.

Ensuring clean air and water. Maintaining safe temperatures. Supporting human systems in extreme environments.

These are the foundations of long-duration human spaceflight.

For more than three decades, Paragon has provided Environmental Control & Life Support Systems and thermal technologies that support these missions.

This week represents a historic milestone as Artemis II prepares to carry humans beyond low Earth orbit once again.

Moments like this remind us that exploration is built on decades of engineering, collaboration, and mission-focused innovation.

For more than 30 years, Paragon has supported Environmental Control & Life Support Systems that help protect crew and sustain human spaceflight missions.

We are proud to remain aligned with NASA’s mission and inspired by this next chapter of exploration.

Five years in orbit — and counting. 🚀

Paragon’s Brine Processor Assembly has been operating on the International Space Station since 2021, recovering water and helping reduce the need to launch precious resources from Earth.

In space, sustainability isn’t a buzzword. It’s mission-critical.

So proud of the team building the systems that make human permanence possible. 💧✨

🚀 Big news from Paragon!

We’re excited to share that we’ve officially joined the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership — expanding our role in one of the nation’s leading aerospace, space exploration, and advanced engineering communities 🌟

🏙️ With NASA Johnson Space Center, commercial space companies, and world-class research institutions nearby, Bay Area Houston is a hub for space manufacturing, satellite systems, mission support, and spaceflight operations.

For more than 30 years, Paragon has delivered life support systems, environmental control technologies, and human-rated space hardware that enable safe and sustainable space missions.

💫 We’re grateful for the warm welcome and energized by what’s ahead as we continue supporting commercial space stations, lunar missions, and future Mars exploration.

Did anyone else notice how many space-themed commercials showed up during the Super Bowl last night? 🌍🚀 $8 Million for 30 Seconds.

With over 125 million people watching, brands once again chose to spotlight the future, exploration, and what’s possible beyond Earth.

At Paragon, that’s not just a story—we live it every day.

From water purification and CO₂ scrubbing to thermal systems and spacesuits, our team has been supporting human spaceflight for decades.

We’re proud to be a trusted, proven partner—and even more excited about what lies ahead.

People are dreaming about the future.
We’re helping make it real.

01/13/2026

Human spaceflight depends on systems designed for reliability, performance, and real operational demands.

At Paragon Space Development Corporation, our focus is on life-critical technologies—from environmental control and thermal management to spacesuit and human-centered systems—engineered to support crews in extreme environments.

As we head into SpaceCom later this month, we look forward to more in-depth conversations with partners about these capabilities and what comes next for human spaceflight.
