About ASTRA group, gradbeništvo in trgovina, d.o.o.

The commercial satellite market has grown at a pace few anticipated: constellations of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit, demand for global connectivity, Earth observation applications multiplying rapidly. Behind this growth lies an equally rapid demand for reliable, flexible, and accessible launch services. Astra Group has positioned itself in this market with a proposition built on two pillars: reliable orbital access and electric propulsion systems for satellites. Rocket 4.0 is designed explicitly for the needs of the modern space economy — rapid launches, mobile deployment, and operational flexibility that allows responding to demand when it arises, not months later. Electric propulsion for satellites is the other leg: propulsion systems are critical for orbital manoeuvrability, constellation management, and controlled de-orbiting at the end of a satellite's operational life. In a market where space debris is already a problem and regulations are tightening, the ability to manoeuvre and de-orbit reliably has become a technical requirement as well as a regulatory one. The B2B custom solutions model fits the nature of the clients: commercial satellite operators and space agencies that need launch and propulsion services tailored to their specific missions. In a sector where reliability is everything and failures carry enormous costs, technical reputation is the primary asset.
