SpaceDot

SpaceDot is a non-profit, volunteering, and interdisciplinary student team, supported by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh). Founded in December 2020, the team comprises over 50 students from AUTh and other universities across Greece and Europe. The company's slogan, "Paving the way for innovative space research. Designing one of the largest biological space missions," highlights its ambition to contribute to the advancement of space exploration. The core objective of SpaceDot is to make space more accessible to the scientific and academic community, as well as the general public. Operating with an open-access, open-source philosophy, the company makes all its experimental results, code, schematics, and knowledge available for public use. SpaceDot also aims to position Greece as an incubator for space research, advancing space engineering through educational activities and fostering relationships between academia and industry. Notably, the organization is contributing to the establishment of the first Space Institute in Thessaloniki. With no publicly disclosed information on recent investments, SpaceDot's novel approach to space research and its commitment to facilitating broader participation and collaboration in the field make it an intriguing venture for potential investors. The company's emphasis on open-access and the potential for Greece to lead in space research aligns with the growing interest in space exploration and technology, presenting opportunities for partnerships and further development in the evolving space industry.
