Problem
Access to microgravity research is limited to the International Space Station, which involves long lead times, high costs, and complex logistics, preventing many materials, biotech, and R&D teams from leveraging space‑based experiments.
Solution
Narravity operates a small autonomous microgravity laboratory as a hosted payload on partner satellites, providing commercial R&D teams with on‑demand access to microgravity conditions without the ISS’s schedule or expense. The service covers the entire experiment lifecycle: translating product questions into flight‑ready designs, configuring and integrating experiment modules, managing on‑orbit operations, and delivering processed data packages. By offering a repeatable, configurable platform, Narravity enables faster learning cycles and actionable insights that can be directly applied to Earth‑based product development.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial R&D teams in materials science, biotechnology, and product development firms seeking microgravity testing without the constraints of traditional spaceflight programs.
