Our Vision and Mission
We see a world in which all people have the opportunity to participate in the space industry on an equal footing, in accordance with their talent and ambitions. However, there is a technological divide between space faring nations and the rest of the world. Our mission is to address this challenge by catalyzing space industries as a service in emerging and developing countries.
“Remember, the space settlement dream was born in you so that you would strive for its fulfillment in this generation, not defer it to the next. It was, and is, a call to you to take some action in this lifetime, and if you are not meant to see it through to its completion, then you must at least lay a foundation on which those who will follow can build.”

Our History
We established SpaceBase, as an LLC, but we run it as an impact organization with a charitable constitution. Our success is not measured as profit. Read our Impact Highlights.
Today
Today we continue to collaborate with the space community in New Zealand to catalyse space entrepreneurial ecosystems across the country. We did this through education and training programmes, as well as running challenge competitions to spark innovation. We focus on consulting projects that provide strategic advisement, technology due diligence, and market validation to build a space industry in NZ. We continue to maintain the NZ Aerospace Directory, a platform that validates the growing space ecosystem since we started five years ago.
