Our 
Story

DreamingBoldly,Born in 2021.

Get to Know Us

When we stepped into 2020, we never thought that something momentous would be born out of a meeting of completely random people at a regional space-related workshop.

​

We continuted meeting as a team in 2021 with a simple aim: to publish a paper at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Dubai. The idea for the IAC paper transformed

over a few short months into a broader initiative of creating a more connected community of space problem solvers in Asia-Pacific.

​

We gathered every week to discuss what could be potentially done to realise this goal. Every single week over the last one and a half years. Despite the commitments in our personal life, we

met. We researched. We networked. We planned. We launched. Asia-Pacific Oceania Space Association (APOSA).

​

Since then, we have grown to be a 20+ membered team spread across the globe.

Message From Our Team

Aleena Joseph, Head of External Relations

"A popular saying that goes around the internet today is, 'Be the adult that you needed when you were a child'. APOSA started when I just graduated, and for me, APOSA was something that I was looking for when I stepped into this awesome space industry. In a world full of competition, emails that are not replied to, and unopened LinkedIn messages, through APOSA I wanted to create a safe place for the younger generation out there, a platform where they can figure out which space avatar they want to be! I am extremely grateful and glad that my fellow co-founders were also able to share my dream! After completing one year around the sun, to this fun space family we have become, I will say, let's not slow down, we have miles to go!"
