Working With Anastasia
← AboutStellar Amenities works with space station providers, aerospace primes, Fortune 500 companies, and architecture and engineering firms, translating space capability into real programs and revenue. Most collaborations begin with a scoped conversation about the problem, the timeline, and the outcome you need.
Market Intelligence & Foresight
Strategic assessments of the human spaceflight market across LEO destinations, the lunar surface, and crew systems. Anastasia maps capabilities, competitors, active tenders, and timeframes into a defensible go-to-market, then positions the offer so the right buyers understand and act on it.
Example Positioning and deal work that supported $46M raised (Y Combinator, Founders Fund, Amex Ventures, Prime Movers Lab) and helped close an eight-figure lunar infrastructure contract.
R&D Project Leadership
Standing up and leading a team of human factors engineers, business development contractors, and vetted specialists on design and human systems R&D: astronaut sleep systems, crew quarters, AI crew support, accessibility hardware, and habitat interiors, with validation through parabolic flight to NASA standards.
Example With AstroAccess, tactile wayfinding for blind and low-vision astronauts, flight-tested aboard ZERO-G and featured in ESA's “Fly!” study; and a deep-pressure sleep countermeasure developed on a 2024 zero-gravity flight with NASA Johnson Space Center and Axiom Space input.
Advisory & Review
Independent review and advisory aligning your program with NASA Artemis, the Human Research Program, and Commercial LEO Destinations requirements, drawing on committee, jury, and decadal-survey experience.
Example Reviewer and judge for the NASA Human Research Program; member of the AIAA Space Architecture Technical Committee since 2017 and a contributor to its Space Architecture Decadal Survey.
Keynotes & Speaking
Keynotes, panels, and workshops on the commercialization of space architecture, human factors, and what the next generation of space habitation means for Earth-based firms.
Example Work featured in The Washington Post, Scientific American, CNN, Aerospace America, and BBC Science Focus. See Speaking for recent engagements.
Selected Praise
“I'm in awe of your work and your wisdom.”
Neri Oxman, Founder of OXMAN; former professor at the MIT Media Lab
“Who would have thought that an organic image like the womb might be our new vision of space habitats? Well, space architect Anastasia Prosina has.”
Frank White, Coined “the Overview Effect”
“I consulted her on sleeping problems in space and her team's solutions of deep pressure are clever.”
Story Musgrave, Former NASA astronaut; the only person to have flown on all five Space Shuttle orbiters
“Her company's accessibility solutions for low-vision astronauts have rethought accessibility entirely. They're useful for disabled astronauts and for emergencies in space, where anyone might need them.”
Cady Coleman, Former NASA astronaut; ISS Expedition 26/27 flight engineer
“I am glad you are working on this amazing frontier… I would add to your list [of long-term projects]: stories, myths, and monuments.”
Kevin Kelly, Founding executive editor of Wired; editor of the Whole Earth Catalog
“A polymath thinking existential problems across scales.”
Patrick Dowd, Former President of the Long Now Foundation Board; founder of Stellar
