Our Story

From aerospace heritage to portable precision, Astrotech exists to turn complex science into real-time answers when the stakes are highest.
Born from NASA and SpaceHab, Astrotech brings space-grade science into the real world. We design field-ready scientific instruments that deliver laboratory precision for the missions that matter most.

Through 1st Detect, EN-SCAN, AgLAB, and Pro-Control, we support government and scientific professionals with tools that protect borders, secure transportation, monitor environments, optimize industrial processes, and advance discovery.
Space-grade science. Real-world impact.
Astrotech was born from the frontier of space exploration. Beginning with SpaceHab and NASA partnerships, we helped advance humanity’s reach beyond Earth, developing technologies that needed to perform flawlessly in the most extreme, high-stakes environments. That same pursuit of precision, reliability, and innovation became the foundation of Astrotech.

From space science, we brought our expertise to Earth, translating laboratory-grade instrumentation into field-ready solutions. Our work in mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and advanced chemical detection allows professionals across security, environmental, industrial, and process-control applications to get clear, actionable answers when it matters most.

Every instrument we build reflects decades of expertise in miniaturization, molecular analysis, and rugged design. Whether detecting trace explosives at an airport, confirming synthetic opioids at a border checkpoint, or monitoring VOCs in the field, Astrotech turns complex science into practical tools.

We combine NASA-grade rigor with real-world practicality, creating systems that are reliable, easy to use, and ready for harsh environments. From aerospace heritage to portable precision, Astrotech empowers teams to make confident, data-driven decisions—protecting people, assets, and the planet.

Our story is one of transformation: from enabling space missions to solving Earth’s most pressing scientific and safety challenges. Astrotech is where cutting-edge science meets real-world impact.
