astraea slated for first test payload launch sep 2026...
Tuesday 16 December 2025
A major milestone for Astraea Technologies! We have signed an EOI to launch our first HIRO-LAB materials testing payload to a 400 km altitude (that’s the same altitude as the ISS!) with NSW-based launch partner Sunburnt Space in September 2026.
With this mission now in motion, EOIs for degradation testing through HIRO-LAB are officially open.
If your organisation is working on:
• Astronaut healthcare for long duration missions
• coatings or surface treatments
• electronics or sensors
• composites or advanced materials
• CubeSat components or payload technologies
…we’d love to hear from you. Submit an EOI to discuss your testing needs below.
More information coming soon — but for now, we’re celebrating a huge achievement in Astraea’s first year.

One year and accelerating...
Thursday 11 December 2025
This week marks our 1-year business anniversary! Co-founders Brooke and Gordon have a quick update on our journey and what’s next for Astraea Tech. Despite being a small team, we’ve achieved mighty things that confirm this is "something worth doing".
Highlights include presenting our paper on the HIRO-LAB at IAC 2025, connecting with the global space ecosystem at the inaugural space hub at the Paris Air Show, and visiting institutions like ESA and ANSTO. We are driven by the goal of better healthcare for humanity.
In 2026, we are putting our foot on the accelerator! We are set to start our earth-based testing, launch new tech concepts, and show customers that our products work.
We are now taking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from anyone who wants to fortify their products against radiation degradation. We are deeply grateful for the connections we’ve made in 2025, which fill us with hope and motivation.
