NASA recognizes Wizor, the Argentine startup reaching for space
Argentine startup Wizor gains global recognition from NASA for its space mission simulator, highlighting Latin America’s potential in deep-tech and space innovation.
Wizor, an Argentine startup blending data science and immersive technology, has been nominated at the global stage of the NASA International Space Apps Challenge 2025, a milestone that positions the company as one of Latin America’s most promising deep-tech ventures.
A Data-Driven Space Simulator with Real NASA Variables
Developed in record time, Wizor’s simulator integrates real datasets provided by NASA, including variables such as temperature, radiation, pressure, and solar wind. This allows users to experience realistic mission scenarios under extreme space conditions, making decisions that directly impact crew survival on the Moon and Mars.
According to El Ecosistema Startup, the project stood out among hundreds of international submissions for its scientific precision and potential for educational and simulation applications within astronaut training programs.
Building Bridges: Partnerships with SpaceX, CONAE, and Global Aerospace Hubs
Founded in October 2024 at the Parque de Innovación de Buenos Aires, Wizor has rapidly positioned itself as a key player in global aerospace technology. Beyond its collaboration with NASA, the company has forged partnerships with SpaceX, CONAE (Argentina’s National Commission on Space Activities), and aerospace research centers in Houston, expanding its international cooperation network.
Wizor’s long-term vision goes beyond astronaut training. The startup aims to adapt its simulation technology for terrestrial applications, from scientific education to crisis management in extreme environments, showcasing its scalability across multiple sectors.
NASA’s Recognition: A Boost for Argentina’s Innovation Ecosystem
For Wizor, the NASA nomination represents far more than technical validation, it’s a testament to Argentina’s creative and scientific potential. Achieving such a high level of precision and execution in just 48 hours underscores the team’s adaptability and excellence.
“The recognition demonstrates that Latin American startups can play an active role in the global deep-tech ecosystem,” said company representatives.
Wizor’s success is becoming a case study for investors and venture funds seeking early access to the next generation of aerospace and simulation technologies emerging from Latin America. Its combination of data-driven precision, immersive design, and real-world utility positions it as a unique opportunity for capital looking to diversify into high-impact technology sectors.
As deep-tech continues to gain momentum in the region, Wizor exemplifies how Latin American innovation can scale globally, from astronaut training programs to high-stakes mission simulations on Mars. The company’s scientific rigor, combined with strategic alliances and global recognition, signals a new frontier for investors exploring space technology in emerging markets.
