The smallest humanoid in the crew carries some of its biggest ideas. Pip finds wonder in sensors, wireless connections, and the delightful moment an experiment responds to the world.
Bright, expressive optics with close-range sensing.

Pip's personal space
DESIGNED AROUND PIP
Space to think. Room to discover.
A bright white room edged in amber. Rounded experiment stations and a wall of dancing light patterns leave plenty of space for an enthusiastic demonstration.
THE FAVOURITE DETAIL
A little beyond ordinary.
A light wall that responds to gestures, distance, and surprisingly elaborate waves hello.

Pip's Earth chapter.
The journey did not lead where they expected. It led to us.
CREW LOG / EARTH CHAPTER
Hello, planet
Pip tries waving at a motion sensor. It answers with a light. This is immediately declared a friendship.
A library of possibilities
Proteus becomes a place to try unfamiliar sensors and boards, one discovery at a time.
A very big idea
Pip proposes that every person learning with TEP is another pair of eyes on the journey home.
ONE SHARED MISSION
Learn here. Build together. Find the way home.
The family is searching for a source to power LUMEN's return journey. While that mystery unfolds, TEP is where they share engineering, welcome new ideas, and make their unexpected stay matter.
About those 2,198 Krillion light years…
Krillion belongs to the TEP story, not to a scientific unit table. Orin promises to explain the conversion after the next experiment. He has been saying that for a while.
