AstroAgency Expansion Continues with New Partnerships and U.S. Showcase

A strategic communications and market intelligence firm dedicated to the commercial space industry is accelerating its expansion into North America, formalising two new transatlantic partnerships. UK-headquartered AstroAgency has signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with Voyager Technologies and Cislunar International, kicking off a six-month push to grow the firm’s connections and clients across the United States and Canada.

The first MOU will see AstroAgency and Voyager Technologies collaborate across several fronts, including European and U.S. stakeholder engagement, strategic marketing support, and the development of VISTA, a new science park initiative. AstroAgency is anticipated to establish a North American office at VISTA as the development progresses.

“AstroAgency’s establishment at VISTA is a reflection of our shared belief that in-space research starts with collaboration here on Earth,” said Jeffrey Manber, president, International & Space Stations, Voyager Technologies. “Our science park lays the foundation for a truly international ecosystem, one that accelerates discovery, fosters innovation and ensures space can benefit all of humanity.”A second MOU was signed with Cislunar International, a growing company with bases in Washington and Texas, focused on tailored support for aerospace businesses. The agreement builds on a long-standing relationship with Cislunar co-founder Sam Peterson, who has served as an advisor to AstroAgency since 2023. The partnership will see both firms work together to strengthen services for their international client bases.

The new partnerships followed AstroAgency’s participation in last week’s Small Satellite Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, where company Director Daria Filichkina featured on stage in a panel discussion alongside representatives from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Astroscale and the Secure World Foundation.

“We’re excited to deepen our North American partnerships and bring our experience in delivering bold, impactful campaigns and strategic guidance to companies across the United States and Canada,” said Daniel Smith, CEO of AstroAgency. “After six years of pioneering this niche service, backed by more than 100 project case studies, SmallSat offered the perfect launchpad for our next chapter.”

AstroAgency’s trip to Utah part of a space delegation led by Scottish Enterprise, while the Voyager signing in Colorado was attended by representatives of the UK Department for Business and Trade. The activity reflects the company’s continued focus on international collaboration, sustainability in space and stakeholder engagement; values demonstrated through AstroAgency’s collaborations with the UK Space Agency, European Space Agency, Committee on Earth Observation Satellites, United Nations, Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, and the Australian and Scottish Governments.

Established as the first full-service marketing agency for space in 2019, the company previously delivered projects in North America for clients that include NovaSpace, PCI Geomatics, the Secure World Foundation, Asterra, TerraMetric and, more recently, the firm secured its first collaboration with NASA. Last week’s developments reflect a strategic commitment to the region as a priority for long-term growth, with Canadian talent already among the company’s expanding international team. New resources and senior leadership focus are being invested to strengthen relationships and increase AstroAgency’s presence locally. To date, the firm has supported over 80 organisations worldwide, from government space agencies to commercial satellite manufacturers, launch providers, and Earth observation companies, with clients including Spire Global, CATALYST, and Hydrosat. Most recently, AstroAgency welcomed its first Japanese client, Axelspace, following a successful trade mission to Japan.

With the United States the most mature space economy in the world and Canada’s sector growing at pace, AstroAgency sees this North American expansion as a natural step in its global mission in transforming how people understand space; not as a distant ambition, but as a vital enabler of economic growth, environmental resilience and daily life on Earth.
