Economic Models
The economic modeling capabilities within AiSTRAEUS are designed to bridge the gap between space engineering and financial viability. As the economics of extraterrestrial resource extraction evolve, our platform adapts with them—combining classical financial tools with advanced simulation techniques tailored for the space industry.
Our models draw from established methods such as Net Present Value (NPV) analysis and techno-economic assessments, while incorporating real-time variables like global commodity prices, reserve depletion rates, and launch costs. Techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations, elasticity modeling, and game theory allow AiSTRAEUS to anticipate market responses and mission feasibility in dynamic conditions.
We are currently expanding these models with an eye toward greater modularity and scenario planning—enabling users to explore “what-if” cases for mission pacing, fleet scaling, and emerging market impacts. This evolving toolkit is built for decision-makers, economists, and mission planners seeking grounded projections in an unpredictable domain.
As we continue refining these tools, we welcome collaboration with researchers, economists, and technical professionals who are interested in shaping the future of space resource economics. If you have ideas, feedback, or would like to collaborate, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Together, we can build models that not only reflect the current state of the space economy, but help define its next stage.
