Microgravity can help combat disease and improve global health. Make use of the world’s most unique laboratory to improve drug discovery, design, development and manufacturing.
Impacts of the Space Environment onLife Sciences, Biotech & Pharma
Drug Discovery
Without gravity, crystals grow at higher fidelity which allows for the discovery of new crystal polymorphs and can help improve drug delivery processes.
Accelerated Disease Modelling
Microgravity-indused bone and muscle loss can improve understanding of age related diseases and provide an environment for accelerated clinincal studies.

Success Case
Covid-19Elevating Drug Efficacy in Microgravity
Remdesivir, to be applicable for its intravenous infusion, requires formulation by the excipient cyclodextrin called SBECD. Although it is considered today as one of the most promising drugs for COVID-19 treatment, remarkable efficacy of remdesivir-SBECD complex has not yet been confirmed. This mission aims to deepen our understanding of the mechanism of remdesivir-SBECD formulation by studying the effect of microgravity on the complex formation properties of remdesivir and SBECD.
Drug Delivery
Improving Remdesivir, a medicine to treat Covid-19.

FIND THE RIGHT PARTNERS FOR YOUR PROJECT
NYX | The Exploration Company
The Exploration Company develops, manufactures and operates Nyx, a modular and reusable orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit. The technical bricks of Nyx are built with open interfaces: they are available on a SpaceStore to enable space & non-space companies to use them and develop new applications.
SpacePharma
The mission of Space Pharma is to leverage the miniaturized microgravity lab technology, enabling unprecedented possibilities to develop new drugs in Space. All this at a fraction of the cost, with higher success rates than experiements conducted with traditional research methods. We are aiming to bring a positive impact on millions of lives here on Earth.
Bioreactor Express Service
Bioreactor Express is a service which aims to establish an “express” way to perform scientific and/or technological experiments on board the International Space Station (ISS).
Space Rider
Space Rider is a reusable uncrewed robotic laboratory which allows to conduct experiments in Low Earth Orbit and return payloads on Earth.
Yuri Microgravity
Yuri Microgravity develops fully automated micro-labs the size of a wallet and launch them in behalf of scientists to the ISS.
ICE Cubes Service
ICE Cubes Service is a simple and cost-effective way for your experiment or technology to fly onboard the International Space Station
Bartolomeo
The Bartolomeo platform allows for payload hosting outside the International Space Station (ISS)l, offering an all-in-one mission service.
