ASTRA is Israel\u2019s first early-stage accelerator program focused primarily on space technologies. The program is designed to support mature research projects, pre-seed and seed startups, in order to consolidate a pool of experienced actors that will thrust Israel into the Space Age.<\/p>\n

The accelerator has two main objectives: to support space tech projects throughout their life cycle with the help of dedicated support and training; and participate in the structuring and bringing together of the local space ecosystem in order to consolidate a pool of projects capable of participating in future Israeli aerospace that increases the number of space tech projects and startups created in Israel.<\/p>\n

Starburst and Israel Aerospace Industries are pooling their respective skills and ecosystems within a consortium to offer an innovative and unique program. Anchored in Tel Aviv, the ASTRA Spacetech accelerator will be focused on supporting spacetech and enabling technology startups with space applications.<\/p>\n
