Commander Eleanor Voss
Mission Director — Project AethonFormer ESA lead astronaut with 12 years of deep-space mission command experience. Architect of the Proxima transit flight plan.
Astralis engineers the vessels, charts the trajectories, and trains the explorers who will carry life from Earth to the stars. Our mission: to make interstellar travel not a dream, but a destination.
Astralis was founded on a singular conviction: humanity's future extends far beyond the solar system. We combine advanced propulsion research, deep-space navigation, and crew psychology into one integrated program — turning centuries of astronomical theory into real, crewed voyages across the void.
From our founding mission to Europa in 2034 to the upcoming Proxima Centauri program, every metre we travel is backed by rigorous science and an unshakable belief that the cosmos is meant to be explored, not merely observed.
Each vessel in the Astralis fleet is purpose-built for a specific class of deep-space mission — from inner-system scouting to interstellar transits lasting decades.
A crewed descent beneath Europa's ice crust to investigate the subglacial ocean. Three aquanauts will spend 90 days in the first off-world marine habitat, searching for microbial biosignatures in the moon's hydrothermal vents.
Crewed ResearchA semi-permanent aerostat laboratory floating in Titan's nitrogen-rich atmosphere, designed to study prebiotic chemistry and test long-duration habitation systems for methane-cycle environments.
Habitat DeploymentPathfinder-III will execute a 14-month survey of trans-Neptunian objects, mapping potential staging points for future interstellar departure corridors. The most distant crewed mission in human history at the time of launch.
Deep-Space NavigationHumanity's first interstellar crewed mission. Artemis-VII will carry 320 explorers on a 38-year voyage to the Alpha Centauri system, establishing a permanent relay station in orbit around Proxima b.
Interstellar LandmarkFormer ESA lead astronaut with 12 years of deep-space mission command experience. Architect of the Proxima transit flight plan.
Pioneered gravitational slingshot navigation techniques now standard on all Astralis vessels.
Specialist in space psychology and cryogenic medicine. Leads the crew health programme for long-duration missions.
Senior pilot with 8,000 hours of simulated and live deep-space flight. Commands the Artemis-VII operational wing.
Co-inventor of the hybrid ion-plasma drive that powers the Artemis class. Leading antimatter containment research for Meridian.
Astralis recruits scientists, engineers, pilots, and specialists from every discipline. Whether you want to design the next propulsion system, chart a course through the Oort Cloud, or be the first human to set foot on Proxima b — the journey starts here.
