Introducing Castronomy™
In space, failure is not an option. Successful missions depend on technologies that can withstand the most extreme conditions. That’s why we work with the brightest minds to put our products to the test – delivering mission-critical performance.

Visionary collaborations

Chosen by NASA. From the Apollo missions and the Mars Rovers to the Space Shuttle programme and the International Space Station, we’ve worked alongside them for over 60 years.

 

51 years after NASA landed on the moon, SpaceX made history as the first private company to send humans into space.

 

In recent years space has opened up to many ambitious new parties, including the next generation of visionaries, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and academic institutions. Castrol is proud to be forming collaborations with them.
