Strategy & Briefings
We research where your organisation could use or sell into space, what it costs, and brief your leaders.
e.g. a logistics firm weighing satellite tracking

through proven consulting and training.
Analysts sell reports. Primes sell hardware.
We've flown the missions — and we build the capability in you.

What we do
Led by former NASA scientist Dr. Bidushi Bhattacharya, AstroHub helps companies, universities and government agencies enter the space economy — from strategy, to orbit, to building your own space team.
Why now The space economy is heading for US$1.8 trillion by 2035. Most organisations know they should be part of it; few know where to start.
02
Missions
We help you plan an experiment or small-satellite mission: the design, the approvals and the path to launch.

What we've delivered
1st
Singapore’s first student experiment on the ISS
Singapore American School students designed a melanin-and-radiation experiment. AstroHub supplied the lab hardware and mentoring, from research question to NASA approval to launch on SpaceX CRS-11.
1st
Australia’s first student experiment on the ISS
A magnetic-fluids experiment by Haileybury College and Swinburne University students, built with AstroHub’s kit and launched from Wallops Island in May 2018.
CEO
From workshop seat to rocket-company founder
Simon Gwozdz took AstroHub’s CubeSat workshop on the way to founding Equatorial Space Industries, now building launch vehicles in Singapore.
600+
Professionals and students trained
Across 12 countries — from six venues in Singapore, including the ArtScience Museum, to the International Space University in Australia.
Delivered withSingapore American School · Haileybury College · Swinburne University · Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
Every experiment we have flown to the ISS returned data, each one taken from kit to flight-ready payload in about five months. See the full mission log →
Don't take our word for it
MP
Business Development Director, Australian Trade & Investment Commission
As a non-space, non technical person, I found the course very enlightening and useful in helping me understand better what goes on in the world of cubesats, an increasingly important and transforming development in the space industry.
CEO, Founder of a Rocket Manufacturing Startup in South East Asia
Dr Bidushi's CubeSat workshop is a fantastic first foray into this exciting new domain for everyone — making the technology accessible, it's a highly recommended introduction to this game-changing platform, and gave us a practical insight into our target market.
RR
Astronautics graduate student, California
I am not aware of any other comprehensive short course that succeeds in efficiently packing this level of information into such a friendly, accessible format.
DT
Student · Mission 01, ISS 2017
One of the biggest parts of the project that I enjoyed was being a part of something that is bigger than me, and working with people closely while also honing my technical skills.
AD
Research Fellow, UPES, India
The instructor(s) was incredibly knowledgeable and articulate… I would definitely recommend this to my co-workers as well as friends.
MI
Film producer, Switzerland
To me, this kind of access to knowledge for basically anybody is what lowering the barrier to entry looks like in practical terms.
VP Market Expansion, TenX
I went from watching a tonne of CubeSat videos on YouTube, to making my own at the workshop, which was amazing and got all my tinkering senses tingling.
Four questions every board asks
The questions leadership teams ask us first, and how we answer them.
"Who even approves this?"
Licensing, spectrum filings, export controls, integration paperwork — the part of space that actually decides schedules now. We've taken eight payloads through the full approval gauntlet, and Dr. Bhattacharya teaches space policy and regulation at the graduate level.
International Space Station · NASA"What will it really cost us?"
Where you fit in an economy headed for US$1.8 trillion: sector maps, entry strategy, costs and timelines your board can defend. A 35-year rocket scientist and a 35-year global asset manager, working your numbers together.
Hubble deployment, 1990 · NASA"Who's going to run it?"
Your people — that's the point. The industry's scarcest resource is experience, so we transfer it: 600+ trained, from CubeSat engineering to executive briefings, and every engagement ends with your own team prepared for space.
Mars Pathfinder · NASA"How does it actually get to orbit?"
From experiment design to launch manifest: hardware realities, integration, operations. Eight experiments coordinated end to end to the International Space Station — in addition to a NASA survey she led that discovered asteroids.

Founder & CEO
Dr. Bidushi Bhattacharya
35 years in the global commercial space sector and at NASA. Her missions are the ones you know: Hubble, Galileo, the Mars Rover Program, ESA's Herschel. Since 2016 she has taken that experience to the commercial sector — founding Southeast Asia's first space-tech incubator and coordinating eight experiments flown to the ISS.
Chief Strategy Officer
David H. Peng
Thirty-five years in global asset management — BlackRock, Merrill Lynch, Bank of China — paired with a Master's in Space Leadership, Business & Policy. David makes sure the strategy works on the balance sheet, not just on the launchpad.

Space favors the prepared
Preparation starts with one conversation. We'll tell you honestly what space asks of your organisation — and what it offers.
- An introductory callWe listen, and tell you plainly whether space is worth it for you.
- A needs assessmentYour goals, capabilities and gaps, mapped.
- A proposal sized to youA sector briefing, a mission plan or a training programme.
A 30-minute conversation with Bidushi or David.
AstroHub is a space industry consulting firm headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California, founded by former NASA scientist Dr. Bidushi Bhattacharya, that helps companies, governments and agencies enter the space economy. An SBA-certified Woman-Owned Small Business, AstroHub has coordinated 8 experiments to the International Space Station and trained 600+ students and professionals across the Asia-Pacific space sector.
