The lead trainer built the first commercial EVA preparation from scratch. Nothing independent existed.
Training. Certification. Readiness.
Forged for the Frontier.
EOS Spaceflight trains commercial astronauts and certifies them against an independent, published standard. Vehicle-agnostic, scientifically grounded, and beholden to no one.
The gap
No independent standard certifies who is ready.
Commercial spaceflight is growing faster than the training that makes it safe. Every operator assembles its own patchwork: a centrifuge in Pennsylvania, a simulator at the manufacturer, a flight surgeon someone knew.

NASTAR
Covers physiology only. Mission training, crew skills, and certification sit outside it.
January 2028
The FAA gains rulemaking authority over crew safety. No one has written the training standard.
What we do
Four services. One accountable party.
A
Mission training
We design the training for your mission and deliver it through facilities that already exist.
- Curriculum and syllabus for each mission
- Centrifuge, altitude, hyperbaric, and survival training
- One contract, one accountable party
B
Crew certification
We certify each crew member against the EOS Readiness Framework before flight. The check ride, for spaceflight.
- Per crew member or per crew
- A written certification record
- Examiners who did not instruct the crew
C
Program certification
We certify other training programs and facilities against the framework, so operators know the training works.
- Curriculum and syllabus review
- Instructor and facility evaluation
- Recertification on a fixed cycle
D
Advisory retainers
Monthly counsel with defined hours and defined deliverables.
- National programs building a training pipeline
- Crew training for commercial stations
- Certification evidence for space insurers
How it works
People and a framework, not a campus.
01
Design
We build the training program for the mission.
02
Train
We deliver it through facilities that already exist.
03
Evaluate
Examiners who did not instruct the crew test each member.
04
Certify
We issue a written certification against the framework.
Every crew we train also receives a written, domain-by-domain assessment against the Readiness Framework.
The EOS Readiness Framework
A written standard for training and certifying crews.
Domains, criteria, evidence, and thresholds for training crew members and certifying them before flight. Grounded in NASA Behavioral Health and Performance practice, the SpARC occupant-safety recommendations (April 2025), and published crew-science research.
Free to read. Paid to apply. We will publish version 1 under an open license. Ask for a copy when it publishes.
Who we serve
Every crew has a different clock.
National space programs
Training a first astronaut corps, or preparing citizens for purchased seats.
Private-mission customers
Training individuals for a commercial mission on a short timeline.
Commercial station operators
Standing up crew training and certification for a new station.
Space insurers
Pricing human risk with an independent certification record.
Why independent
Answerable to no manufacturer, operator, or agency.
Space that is safe and enjoyable to live and work in, for anyone from anywhere.
Manufacturers train to their own vehicle. We train to the mission, on any vehicle, and certify against a standard anyone can read.
Our examiners never certify a crew they instructed. We certify; the operator decides who flies.
