  • The awards are given to the representatives of each space organization that wins an Astro Awards for the most innovative, inspiring, and important missions of 2024!

  • While we have great appreciation for the content creators in the space community, this award show is dedicated to recognizing the engineers and companies making these missions possible—the very efforts that give us content to create and celebrate. That said, we will feature content creators on select panels and warmly encourage their participation in the celebration of our shared passion!

  • Kind of, people can suggest missions they think deserve an award near the end of the year when the Everyday Astronaut team starts to solicit for nominations on social media. The bigger awards are voted on by supporters.

  • In January, Austin, TX, typically experiences mild to cool weather. The average high temperatures range from 60°F to 65°F (15°C to 18°C), while the average low temperatures can drop to around 40°F to 45°F (4°C to 7°C). It can feel cooler in the mornings and evenings, and there's a chance of rain, though it's not a particularly rainy month. The weather is usually comfortable for outdoor activities, but it's a good idea to have a light jacket or layers for warmth, especially in the evenings.

  • If you're a student looking for your place in the industry... this is the perfect event for you! You'll be able to talk directly to the leaders of the most influential spaceflight organizations and get a feel for what it's like to work in the industry! If you'd like to claim your student discount, just email info@everydayastronaut.com from your .edu email address and we'll respond with your discount code!

  • We're focusing on delivering the best in-person experience to the audience! So, we will not live-stream the event this year. However, we will record the awards show and upload an edited video to the Everyday Astronaut YouTube channel at a later time.
