About Northbow Space Solutions
What we do
We provide specialist space consulting services to meet your education, research, strategy, and policy needs.
What makes us different?
Our services are founded on genuine world-leading space operational experience, education, and research expertise.
Our team bridges the rare gap between theory and practice. This means our advice is always evidence-based, grounded in personal real-world empirical experience, and can be tailored exquisitely to your needs.
We do not try and baffle you with unnecessary high tech waffle - we translate complex space nomenclature into readily understood language.

We advise schools, universities, and think tanks on course and curriculum design, classroom and lecture theatre delivery, and academic research at every level from primary to post-graduate - from basics to boardroom.
Strategic Consulting
We provide goverments, NGOs, and IGO, with space operations planning, strategic development support, and subject-matter expertise.
