About Andrew J. Steen

Aerospace Engineer | Space Policy Advocate | Evangelist for Cooperative Space FuturesAs an engineer with a growing focus on international space policy and global cooperation, I aim to contribute to the responsible expansion of humanity into space—while ensuring that the benefits of space-based assets meaningfully serve life on Earth.My technical background in satellite constellation operations, paired with a deepening engagement in space governance, enables me to collaborate across disciplines and sectors. I’m especially interested in how policy, strategy, and international norms can shape a sustainable, equitable, and secure space domain.I believe the future of humanity as a spacefaring species must be guided by intentional choices: fostering global access, protecting our planet, and leveraging space technology to address terrestrial challenges like climate resilience, food security, and equitable development.Let’s connect if you’re working at the intersection of engineering, policy, and the long-term stewardship of space.
