Our startup is a very innovative company, founded in 2008 at Brazilian aerospace incubator, firstly idealized to solve problems in aerospace sector. Our expertise enabled us to work in dozens of very challenging projects, from small rockets, stratospheric balloons and customized solar panels  to carbon fiber drones. During this period of learning and maturation, our company had many great opportunities to develop social activities in educational field, to motivate and inspire the new generation to go forward.

Our team had 10 years of experience on design, manufacturing and integration of customized UAVS, small sounding rockets, and more recently composite advanced structures for Microsatellites, most of this projects are B2B based, based on this perspective, we have a wide and diverse customers and partners portfolio.

Now, continuing our developments in aerospace technologies, we decided to invest in a new exciting challenge, bring part of our technology available to schools around world. We know, many students are far from this connected modern world, in this way, we plan to develop a new tool, fully integrated and designed to be cheap, easy and very cool, by our DIY educational STEAM package. 

Our team is a very eclectic group, with one product development specialist, one financial and market  talent, one passionate science professor and an aerospace scientist.

We really love our birthplace, our nation and based on this devotion, we choose Crux as the best constellation to represent us, and more specifically Alpha Crux or Acrux
