ResearchSat is building satellites that are capable of performing life science experiments in space. We perform the life sciences experiments in satellites to benefit the Pharma, Agri and Biofuel Industries (PAB industries). ResearchSat focused in performing microbiological experiments.
The following are our capabilites in brief
- Affordable satellite platforms
- Affordable space apparatus for experiments
- Controlled environments [Radiation, Pressure, Temperature]
- Eco-Satellites
- Data & specimen retrieval capability
- Modular platforms [Scale up to 12U size]
- Shared IP for commercialization
- Low Earth Orbit – ISS experiments
ResearchSat's Suborbital Launch taking place on the 23rd of November, 2022 has been put on hold due to regulatory issues.
- Weighing less than 1 kg and carrying pharmaceutical and biological experiments, it travelled aboard the SubOrbital Express 3. Rocketing 260 km into space, it achieved microgravity for six minutes performing real-time monitoring and data collection before returning to Earth.
- ResearchSat specialises in satellite microbiological and chemical microgravity space research using small, cost-effective nanosatellites. The launch was ResearchSat’s first sub-orbital nanosatellite space launch and was designed to prove the reliability of the CubeSat to conduct meaningful scientific experiments.
Second suborbital ADI-e mission in February 2024.
- Flight and monitoring of biological cells with focus on effects triggered by microgravity.
- Flight test of contingency communication unit based on IRIDIUM for Cubesats and small satellites (ANT-61).
