ALTAIR ASTRONOMY & SPACE
SEIZE THE COSMOS
OUR WORK
Altair Astronomy & Space develops space technology initiatives, astronomical infrastructure, and educational programs that connect space innovation with real-world impact.
From satellite applications to public outreach, our work aims to expand access to space science and its benefits.
Space Technology Applications
We develop space-enabled solutions that turn satellite data, AI, and autonomous systems into real-world tools. Through projects like LIVIA and THALASAT, we explore how Earth observation as well as emerging technologies can support agriculture, environmental monitoring, and other practical use cases.
Astronomical
Operations
Through ORIZONTAS, we are developing remote observation capabilities in Cyprus supporting SSA/SDA, astronomical research, and commercial observation services, while exploring future infrastructure such as optical ground stations (OGS) and advanced astronomical facilities.
Education &
Social Impact
We design and deliver astronomy outreach, educational programs, and community initiatives that make space science accessible and inspiring. Our work brings astronomy to schools, institutions, and the public through events, lectures, and hands-on experiences.
PROJECT ALTAIR
Welcome to Project Altair, powered by Unicars!
​
A national outreach initiative born from the collaboration between Altair Astronomy and Unicars, merging space science education with social responsibility.
​
Our goal is to make space and astronomy accessible to everyone, through charity and public events, interactive astronomy nights, engaging workshops, digital media, and educational content tailored for all ages.
​
But this project is about more than just stars. It’s about impact. Every activity we organize is either free of charge or entirely non-profit, with 100% of net proceeds going to charitable causes across Cyprus.
​
Whether it’s observing Saturn through a telescope, learning about light pollution in a hands-on workshop, or watching a short video online, every moment supports both curiosity and community.
​
With Project Altair, we’re reaching for the stars, together, with purpose, for people.
