ASTRA LINX, a Dubai-based aerospace initiative founded by six-time world record holder and aerospace engineer Alexander Begak, made its international debut today at Dubai Airshow 2025 (Booth AAM-5), unveiling two ground breaking projects aligned with the UAE’s vision for advanced air mobility and civil space leadership.

The company presented NEMTY — a multi-role electric VTOL aircraft designed for urban air mobility, emergency response, and premium transport — and Selen, the world’s first civil suborbital spaceplane, capable of carrying passengers to the Kármán line (100–120 km) and deploying microsatellites as a reusable first stage.

Unlike conceptual ventures, both projects are backed by 35+ years of engineering experience, 100+ completed aerospace designs, and full intellectual property ownership registered in the UAE. A key innovation is the WH (“World Heart”) initiative — a digital ecosystem built on the TON blockchain.

WH is not a security, equity, or financial instrument. It is a visionary initiative by Alexander Begak
to enable global participation in the development of next-generation infrastructure.
Through WH, individuals and organisations can:
— Access functional NFTs (e.g., “Voyager” for flight reservations, “Guardian” for priority NEMTI
deployment, “Builder” for engineering collaboration),
— Sign digital memoranda of understanding with legal validity under UAE law,
— Contribute to roadmap decisions through community governance.
“This is not about selling dreams,” said Alexander Begak, Founder of ASTRA LINX.
“We’re building real infrastructure — for Earth, for near space, for a new kind of civilization. And it
begins here, in Dubai.

WH is not an investment product. It is an invitation: to co-create, to witness, and to belong.”
ASTRA LINX operates under a full IFZA license for project management, media production, and
digital content.

The initiative directly supports UAE national strategies, including:

  • UAE Centennial 2071 — by training next-gen engineers and fostering innovation ecosystems,
  • UAE Space Strategy 2030 — by enabling affordable, frequent access to the edge of space for
    science, education, and peaceful exploration.
