[THESIS 2025] ÑAN: Connecting Ecuador's 4 Worlds

Ñan — derived from the Quechua word for “path” — is a speculative satellite-based transportation system that reimagines mobility as a sky-bound network designed to preserve the Earth’s surface. Rooted in the landscapes and values of Ecuador, Ñan proposes a future where transportation infrastructure no longer scars the land but instead floats above it. At its core, Ñan is composed of two interconnected elements: a satellite hyperloop that functions both as a transportation capsule and space debris collector, and a terrestrial antenna hub that teleports goods and materials directly from orbit to Earth. This vertical mobility system seeks to reduce environmental impact while offering ultra-efficient connectivity between remote regions.See More
