At Ad Astra, we pride ourselves in being visionary and thereby, bring value to our shareholders. Our core mission is to revolutionize space transportation with the commercialization of the VASIMR® engine and related technologies. Space, in the second decade of this century, is not unlike air transportation was in the second decade of the 20th. Already, space operations represent a $304 billion worldwide market with an annual growth rate of 7%. As the XXI century sets its mark on our civilization, we foresee this market to ultimately dwarf the commercial air travel of today. It is the private sector that will fuel this unprecedented growth and Ad Astra is positioning itself to help usher this transformation and to play a major role at every step of the way.
