About Anastasia
Anastasia Prosina is an entrepreneur who transforms novel technologies into commercial opportunities. With an MS in Space Architecture, she is a published researcher and speaker in extreme environments, space habitats, and human factors in spaceflight.
Anastasia works with Fortune 500 companies to bridge the gap between advanced aerospace concepts and practical applications. Her company, Stellar Amenities, supported AstroAccess's inaugural program to help disabled ambassadors learn to navigate in weightlessness, a program supported by former Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides and the former medical team of Stephen Hawking. In 2024, the Aurelia Institute selected her pressure therapy system for zero-gravity testing, demonstrating dual applications for both orbital habitats and terrestrial healthcare environments.
Her strategic commercialization expertise has helped companies secure over $46M in funding through compelling market positioning and technical qualification strategies. Named to Payload Pioneer's 30 Under 30 list in 2023 by the Blue Origin C-suite, Anastasia's insights have been featured in The Washington Post, CNBC, and Aerospace America.
Originally from Russia, Anastasia grew up on a farm in remote Siberia. From an early age, she learned the value of entrepreneurship, selling vegetables with her grandmother at the age of 5, in her first business experience. It was this formative background that gave her the drive to immigrate to the United States at the age of 23, earn a master's degree, and found an aerospace firm that has pushed the bounds of innovation in space habitation systems, as well as a consultancy specialized in executive communications.
Delivering over 250 speeches, she is acclaimed for her ability to communicate complex topics in aerospace. Appearances have included talks at LA Design Week, SXSW, the Venice Architecture Biennale, and the International Astronautical Congress. She has been featured on the AstroBen podcast alongside astronaut Scott Kelly and Sum41 singer Deryck Whibley, discussing space habitat design principles and human performance in extreme environments.
Research contributions include several papers that have advanced the field of space architecture. Her co-authored paper "Space Habitat Reconfigurability: TESSERAE platform for self-aware assembly" received the prestigious AIAA Space Architecture Technical Committee Best Professional Paper Award in 2020, introducing a revolutionary concept for autonomous control of space structures that can "grow" and evolve throughout a mission.
She also published pioneering research on sustainable materials with her paper "Algae-Based Printer Ink as the Way to Foster In-Situ Resource Utilization in Habitation Structures," which received media attention for proposing an innovative solution combining algae and regolith for 3D printing of space habitats that could withstand extreme environments while minimizing resource mining. Her methodology leverages principles of recycling, material efficiency, and human factors to create environments that balance operational efficiency with occupant wellbeing across diverse project types.
Presented at the 70th International Astronautical Congress, her research on "Redesign of Salyut Station for Dual-Use of Research and Tourism" examined the potential commercial repurposing of historic space station designs as the industry shifts toward space tourism opportunities.

Anastasia Prosina is an entrepreneur, operator, and angel investor who transforms complex space technologies into commercial opportunities. As founder of Stellar Amenities, she bridges the gap between advanced aerospace concepts and practical applications for Fortune 500 firms. Her "Space Hug" pressure therapy suit for astronaut sleep was recently tested during zero-gravity flights with the Aurelia Institute, addressing a critical challenge in human spaceflight. Her strategic business development has raised over $30M for space ventures, including Momentus' pre-IPO round. Named to Payload Pioneer's 2023 30 Under 30 list by Blue Origin and Department of Defense executives, Prosina combines technical expertise with commercial acumen to create sustainable demand in the expanding space economy.
