We enable research and manufacturing in microgravity, e.g. on the International Space Station. By making access to microgravity simpler, quicker and more affordable, we open it up to entirely new industries.
Yuri is a space biotech company that uses the microgravity environment of space to develop and manufacture superior biotech products. Since 2022 it has been developing its own pipeline of superior biotech products that are either triggered by or manufactured in microgravity. This involves identifying novel space bacteria strains specific for biomanufacturing, as well as triggering natural adaptation in the space environment to generate non-GMO microbes with adjusted characteristics.
- The ScienceTaxi is a first-of-its-kind life science incubator facility with temperature control, full automation, and real-time data collection. Hosting up to 38 experiment units – or ScienceShells – the built-in ScienceTaxi centrifuge allows for experiments to be conducted with Earth gravity, as well as moon or Mars gravity as a reference.
- Dream Chaser, the first winged, commercial spaceplane, which is designed and built by Sierra Space, will transport Yuri’s ScienceTaxi to the ISS according to the newly-signed Commercial Payload Services Agreement (CPSA). The two companies are also exploring future LEO destinations where Sierra Space’s Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE™) habitat could provide more than 300 cubic meters of on-orbit research space.
