Anastasia Prosina delivers expert appearances worldwide on space architecture commercialization — particularly in LEO — human factors in space environments, and translating space technologies into terrestrial business value.
She has provided expert commentary to The Washington Post, Scientific American, and Aerospace America, among others.
Expert Commentary Topics
Commercial Space Stations & the Post-ISS Economy
The ISS deorbits by 2030. Vast, Axiom, Starlab, and Orbital Reef are racing to replace it — revenue models, anchor tenancy, customer segmentation, and why NASA's $1.5B in Phase 2 funding is just the starting line. How station operators monetize across research, manufacturing, tourism, and media.
Crew Health & Medical Risk in Orbit
The Crew-11 medical evacuation in January 2026 made visible what the industry has known for years: crew health is the bottleneck for commercial spaceflight. Sleep disruption, radiation, bone loss, psychological performance, and the 30+ NASA Human Research Program gaps that remain unsolved. Why this is a market, not just a problem.
Fortune 500 Companies & the Space Supply Chain
How pharmaceutical, luxury, wellness, entertainment, hospitality, and consumer brands enter the orbital economy. Partnership structures with station providers, in-space manufacturing economics, microgravity R&D value, and the actual pathway from terrestrial brand to space customer.
The Lunar Economy & Artemis Commercial Ecosystem
Artemis II reopens the Moon for the first time in fifty years. What the cislunar supply chain looks like, where commercial companies fit alongside NASA primes, sponsorship and brand activation opportunities on lunar missions, and what it means for companies positioning now for the next decade of exploration.
Space Architecture & Habitat Design
Building environments where humans survive and perform beyond Earth. How habitat design determines mission duration, crew productivity, and commercial viability — the design decisions being made now that will define how humans live in orbit, on the Moon, and eventually on Mars.
Space Wombism & Civilizational Shelter
The framework from Anastasia's book (2026). Why the habitats we design in the next fifty years determine whether human consciousness persists beyond this planet — the philosophy, architecture, and economics of long-term human shelter.
