What if AI could take us beyond the limits of human exploration? What if intelligence itself could navigate the unknown, adapt in real time, and make decisions beyond our reach?
Our mission is to develop intelligent systems that seamlessly extend human capabilities across land, sea, and space. By integrating AI, data intelligence, and real-time decision-making, AstraQua is setting the stage for discoveries yet to be imagined and industries yet to be revolutionized.
With next-generation AI and energy-efficient computing, AstraQua is shaping a future where AI is more than a tool; it’s a force that propels us into the uncharted, where the impossible becomes inevitable.
As the founder and CEO of AstraQua, Loay is driving advancements in AI and next-generation intelligent systems. AstraQua focuses on pushing the boundaries of AI and data-driven technologies, with applications across aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. AstraQua is pioneering AI advancements that will seamlessly integrate into critical industries, shaping a more intelligent and efficient future. With the next generation of AI, where computational power is higher while energy consumption is lower, these advancements will unlock possibilities beyond what was ever imagined, taking humanity to places once thought unreachable.
Loay’s expertise in adaptive AI computing and intelligent system design positions AstraQua at the forefront of innovation. With AI rapidly transforming industries, Loay is at the forefront of driving innovation that will define the next technological era. His leadership extends beyond engineering, as he actively mentors startups and speaks globally about the future of AI and technology.
In addition to his technical achievements, Loay serves on the advisory board for the University of California, Riverside, and actively engages in public speaking to share his knowledge and inspire future engineers and entrepreneurs. He has also received several industry recognitions for his contributions to aerospace and AI-driven innovation.
Kosta’s career spans some of the most advanced aerospace programs in the world. At Blue Origin, he led the design of the lunar lander engine controller—developing fault-tolerant systems that pushed the boundaries of safe, autonomous propulsion. At NASA, he architected resilient computing platforms for satellite missions and deep-space avionics, winning multiple internal awards for innovation, including Principal Investigator honors for advanced onboard communication systems.
His portfolio includes the development of Software Defined Radios launched into orbit, full-stack transceivers for FASTSAT-01, and next-generation microprocessor systems for critical avionics. What sets Kosta apart is his deep specialization in real-time embedded systems and radiation-tolerant FPGA design—a discipline essential for operating in the unforgiving vacuum of space or deep-sea pressure zones.
A lifelong systems thinker and hands-on builder, Kosta holds patents in digital space communication and has contributed to publications and technical books on system health management and fault-tolerant computing. His educational background includes a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Engineering Physics from Christian Brothers College and graduate work in Electrical Engineering.
Today, Kosta applies his unmatched experience to helping AstraQua build the next generation of autonomous, intelligent machines—enabling swarms of drones and robots to explore environments once beyond human reach.
