About AST
The Perfect Solution For Space Applications
Founded in 2010, AST invested in technologies and processes for highly performant and miniaturized flow control components and units for space applications.
AST’s products use fluid SMD technology to reduce system size and mass and to allow series production. Key feature of fluid SMD is the significant reduced number of welds and a quality optimized manufacturing process. All remaining welding joints are done in fully automized electron beam welding machines, providing a maximum of quality at a minimum of cost. The design for series production is unique in space business and yields significant cost savings at larger quantities as required by LEO constellations.
All AST products use components of European origin. No foreign export restrictions apply. This allows our customers to reduce administrative overhead and to secure their market shares.
