Space Samples Launch: New Era for Research
22 Dec
Summary
- Genesis Space Flight offers affordable microgravity research.
- Missions launch between 2026-2027 with 6-9 month durations.
- Reflight insurance is provided for complete mission failures.
Genesis Space Flight Laboratories is revolutionizing space research with its newly launched Microgravity Research Rideshare Program. This initiative significantly lowers the cost and complexity of conducting experiments in microgravity, opening doors for various scientific fields. Researchers in biotechnology, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and material science can now send small payloads to low Earth orbit for retrieval.
The program features multiple orbital flights to SSO between 2026 and 2027, each lasting six to nine months, with shorter suborbital test flights also available. Genesis offers various pricing tiers, including passive and active sample options, with prices starting at €6K and €12K respectively. Comprehensive services include integration, ground support, sample recovery, and a unique reflight insurance policy for complete mission failures.
Booking is streamlined through an online request form, with sample integration required at least 60 days before launch, though last-minute pad integration is an option for sensitive payloads. Genesis Space Flight, known for its small reentry vehicles, aims to democratize access to space-based research, with a special discount available until the end of 2025 for those including 'SPACENEWS10' in their request.
