About AstroTech Insights

Bridging Technical Excellence with Strategic Aerospace Analysis

Our Story

Founded in 2018 in Munich, Germany, AstroTech Insights emerged from a recognized need for rigorous, independent analysis of rapidly evolving space technologies. As the commercial space sector accelerated and international competition intensified, we identified a gap: accessible yet deeply technical insights that could inform both industry professionals and policy makers.

Our founding team comprised aerospace engineers, systems analysts, and science communicators who had witnessed firsthand the transformative potential of emerging technologies—from reusable launch systems to advanced satellite networks. We established AstroTech Insights to provide a neutral platform where technical depth meets strategic perspective.

Over seven years, we have grown from a small research collective to a recognized analytical resource, collaborating with universities, research institutions, and industry partners across 25 regions worldwide. Our work has contributed to informed discourse on critical topics including orbital sustainability, propulsion innovation, and the integration of artificial intelligence in space operations.

Spacecraft engineering

Our Mission

To deliver evidence-based, technically rigorous analysis of space technology developments that informs decision-making, fosters innovation, and contributes to the responsible advancement of humanity's presence in space.

Our Approach

We combine engineering expertise with interdisciplinary research methodologies. Our analytical framework encompasses:

  • Technical feasibility assessments grounded in fundamental physics and engineering principles
  • Cross-sector technology transfer analysis, identifying innovations from telecommunications, AI, materials science, and energy sectors
  • Policy and regulatory impact evaluation, considering international frameworks and emerging governance structures
  • Economic sustainability modeling for commercial space ventures
  • Environmental and orbital sustainability considerations

"The future of space exploration will be defined not by any single breakthrough, but by the systematic integration of advances across propulsion, materials science, robotics, and artificial intelligence. AstroTech Insights provides the analytical lens to understand these convergences."
