Astrotech Corporation operates in the defense and space manufacturing sector, focusing on identifying, developing, and marketing space technology for commercial and government use. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company serves government and commercial satellite and spacecraft customers through its Astrotech Space Operations unit, which provides pre-launch services across the eastern and western launch ranges. As an early participant in space commerce, Astrotech aims to apply space technologies to commercial markets as well as government programs. The firm maintains a relatively small workforce, reflecting its specialized, project-based business. Astrotech's portfolio includes 1st Detect, which is developing a compact chemical detector, and Astrogenetix, a biotechnology company that uses microgravity as a platform for drug discovery and development. In 2025, Astrotech appointed Nihanth Badugu as chief operating officer.
