Company Overview

TransAstra is a space technology company that develops solutions for orbital logistics, space domain awareness, and space resource utilization. The company's key technologies include the 'Worker Bee' orbital transfer vehicle, which uses a proprietary 'Omnivore' solar thermal propulsion system capable of using various propellants like water, and the 'Sutter' telescope system for detecting and tracking asteroids and orbital debris. Founded in 2015 by Joel Sercel, TransAstra aims to build the infrastructure for a sustainable space economy, with long-term goals of mining resources from asteroids and the Moon. The company has secured multiple contracts from government agencies like NASA and the U.S. Space Force to advance its technology for debris removal and space surveillance.
