My name is Andrey Maximov, I am an entrepreneur based in Dubai. My mission is helping start 1000 space companies.

My current passions are: commercial space exploration, GCC markets, and startups. To pursue these passions, in 2017 I founded Precious Payload, a space technology startup headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

My projects:

• Khaleeji Space Network, a membership community designed for both Arabian Gulf residents and international space industry professionals involved in space-enabled projects across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain: https://membership.khaleeji.space
• Precious Weekly Newsletter, answers the question "What satellites and launchers are others building, why, and how?" every week for more than three years: https://blog.preciouspayload.com/precious-weekly-newsletter/
• Cheat sheets on space mission budgeting, satellite insurance, and 60+ payload ideas for your space mission have helped hundreds of incumbents understand complex topics and make the first steps in the space industry.
• Two YouTube channels, Precious Payload and The Startupper's Guide to the Galaxy, collectively host over 50 videos on starting space companies and include interviews with other CEOs to learn from their experience.
• Precious Payload’s launch schedule has shortened the time it takes to find a way to conduct in-space demos for over 180 payload missions by connecting them to launchers, space tugs, hosted payload platforms, sub-orbital launches, and return capsules.
