Our Story

Formation and Mission

AstroTech Insights was founded in 2018 in Munich, Germany, emerging from a recognition that the rapidly evolving space industry needed an independent, analytical voice focused on technical excellence and cross-sector insights. Our founders, a group of aerospace engineers and technology analysts, saw the need for comprehensive coverage that bridges engineering, policy, and commercial developments.

Over the past seven years, we have built a reputation for rigorous technical analysis, balanced perspectives, and deep industry connections. Our work spans emerging propulsion systems, satellite mega-constellations, orbital sustainability challenges, and the integration of artificial intelligence into mission operations.

We maintain editorial independence and analytical objectivity, ensuring that our insights reflect technological realities rather than commercial interests. Our commitment is to serve the aerospace community with accurate, timely, and actionable intelligence.

Mission & Approach

Our Mission

To provide aerospace professionals, researchers, and technology enthusiasts with comprehensive, objective analysis of space technology developments, engineering innovations, and policy frameworks shaping humanity's expansion beyond Earth.

Our Approach

We combine technical expertise with investigative rigor. Our team reviews primary sources, conducts expert interviews, analyzes patent filings, and monitors regulatory developments to deliver insights that go beyond press releases and marketing materials.

Every analysis undergoes peer review by specialists in relevant domains. We prioritize accuracy over speed, depth over breadth, and substance over speculation. Our editorial standards require multiple independent source verification for technical claims and transparent acknowledgment of uncertainties.

"The future of space technology demands rigorous analysis, not just enthusiasm. We exist to provide that critical perspective."
