Inspired by Two Stranded Astronauts, 17-Year-Old CEO Max Kopp Is Building AI-Powered Sensors to Prevent Future Spaceflight Emergencies
Now, With Astronauts Safely Home, His Mission to Protect Future Crews Gains New Momentum
United States, 27th Mar 2025, –

Blue Bell, PA –In June 2024, two NASA astronauts aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft became stranded on the International Space Station following a critical coolant system failure. Originally scheduled for a brief mission, they remained in orbit for over nine months while NASA and Boeing engineers worked to resolve the issue and ensure their safe return.
On March 18, 2025, at 5:57 p.m. EDT, their capsule finally splashed down off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida, concluding one of the most closely watched space incidents in recent memory.
For most, the story was a dramatic technical challenge.
For Max Kopp, a 17-year-old scientist and entrepreneur from Pennsylvania, it was deeply personal.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about them,” Max recalls. “They were out there for nearly a year—isolated, vulnerable, and waiting. I remember reading every update and feeling this mix of anxiety and helplessness. What if they hadn’t made it back?”
That moment of helplessness turned into a mission. Inspired by the real dangers astronauts face, Max began developing a system that might one day prevent similar emergencies: a real-time structural sensing network powered by AI and nanotechnology, capable of detecting damage or failure in spacecraft before it becomes critical.
“I may not be Elon Musk. I can’t launch rockets or bring people home from space,” he reflects. “But I kept asking myself: what if I could prevent something like this from happening again?”

(Capiton: An astronaut demonstrates the installation of a flexible nanomaterial sensor panel inside a spacecraft, part of a next-generation structural monitoring system designed to detect stress, cracks, and leaks in real time using AI-powered analytics.)
That question sparked the beginning of his next innovation — a nanotechnology-based, AI-driven structural monitoring system designed to detect spacecraft damage in real time. Already known for founding Vitasense, a medical tech startup developing wearable, noninvasive glucose monitors, Max took his deep expertise in nanomaterials and AI and applied it to a very different but equally urgent problem: how to keep astronauts safe.
Spacecraft are vulnerable to undetected micro-damage, stress fractures, and seal leaks — all of which can have catastrophic consequences. Current spacecraft monitoring systems still rely heavily on manual inspection and ground-based diagnostics. Max’s system uses inkjet-printed nanomaterial sensors, embedded directly into spacecraft structures, to constantly track physical integrity and detect anomalies long before they become dangerous.
These thin, lightweight sensors send live alerts through AI-powered analytics, providing astronauts and mission control with early warnings if something is going wrong — from hull stress to potential leaks.
“This is like a nervous system for spacecraft,” Max explains. “It’s designed to feel things before they break.”
His approach unifies the same core technologies he has applied to his medical research: nanomaterials for sensing, and AI for interpretation. In Vitasense, they are used to help diabetics monitor glucose painlessly and affordably. In space, they might protect a small crew on a long mission from an invisible threat.
“What connects both of these projects is the reason I started them,” he says. “Whether it’s millions of people managing diabetes every day or two astronauts stuck in orbit — I just want to help people live safer, better lives.”
Max’s aerospace project is currently in development and gaining attention from institutional mentors and science competitions. He is preparing to pursue mentorship and collaboration with NASA and other aerospace research labs. In the meantime, his work continues to receive recognition across elite global competitions, including the National Junior Science & Humanities Symposium, the S.-T. Yau High School Science Award, the Conrad Challenge, and the Global Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, where he was named Most Innovative Winner.
Max also leads The Kopp Foundation for Diabetes, his nonprofit dedicated to supporting accessible medical technology and raising public awareness about biosensor research. It’s another example of his interdisciplinary approach to scientific innovation — and his heart-led philosophy.
“When they made it back, I was so relieved,” he says of the astronauts’ return. “But I also thought — what if next time, someone doesn’t make it? What if the difference is just a better sensor, a faster alert, a few more seconds of warning?”
Whether developing wearable tech to transform healthcare or building silent safety systems for deep space, Max Kopp is driven by the same question:
What if I can help? Even in a small way.
