Association Membership 

In 1988 the Association of Specialist Technical Organisations for Space (ASTOS) was created; its objective to serve the needs of small and medium sized companies operating in the space sector. Today the Association provides services to companies offering a diverse range of technical expertise and products, all targeted at space applications. The very diversity of the Association's members is one of its key strengths - it provides an invaluable resource to the SME that is looking for expertise that complements its own capabilities.

Objectives 

ASTOS works to achieve a series of aims; 

• to provide a voice for SMEs concerning the strategic direction of UK space policy
