Beyond the interest of other space groups
Tau Zero is different from other space groups
Mission and Methods
The Tau Zero Foundation is a global volunteer group of scientists, engineers, writers, and entrepreneurs working together to advance the goal of interstellar flight.
Using the dream of interstellar space travel as both a long-range goal and a catalyst for near-term progress, the Tau Zero Foundation supports both incremental and revolutionary advancements in science, technology, and education. The Foundation seeks out and directs support to those who can make credible progress toward the goal of star flight, including leading research pioneers and promising graduate-level students. The Foundation also strives to engage and educate the public during every step of this journey of discovery.
Our motto, "Ad astra incrementis" means "to the stars in ever-increasing steps."
Upcoming Events
Participate
We need your help to make interstellar space travel a reality. The amount of money allocated globally to interstellar research is very small. Support from the public is crucial to making the scientific advances that will one day lead to starships.
Donations to Tau Zero Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, are tax-deductible in the U.S. Click the Donate button below to donate with your credit card or PayPal.
To provide ongoing support for interstellar research, join Tau Zero Foundation with recurring monthly or annual dues from your PayPal account. Click here to join.
Pioneers Wanted
Pioneers make revolutionary progress by pursuing goals beyond the comfort zone of their peers. By breaking from the pack, pioneers discover breakthroughs that others can't even consider.
