About the Company

TransAstra is the best place for hard core technical engineers to work in the space industry. Zero paperwork, 100% substance. We rapidly prototype, test to failure, and learn every day. You get more experience here in a few months than years working at NASA.

Tech Stack

We are currently testing the most innovative rocket engine on the planet: Omnivore. Omnivore is a breakthrough in solar thermal rocket technology that allows the use of virtually any fluid as propellant with nuclear rocket like performance from clean, cheap, safe, concentrated solar energy. We are also known as the world leader in deep tech focussed on asteroid and lunar mining and power systems for lunar outposts.
