SATOP Technical Assistance

Through our collaboration with the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP) in the Houston Bay Area, Accelerator participants may be connected or referred to SATOP for targeted engineering assistance during the accelerator process. We help connect teams with SATOP when specific technical challenges arise—such as design feedback, materials questions, or test planning—so founders can maintain momentum. Assistance is provided by SATOP and is subject to SATOP program eligibility and scope.
