In-Space Manufacturing Exchange
The goal of exchange is to provide researchers and manufacturers with direct, transparent access to microgravity capabilities across pharmaceutical development, advanced materials production, biotechnology research, and precision manufacturing. Our platform catalogs orbital service providers - including ISS platforms, reentry vehicles, and mission integration services—with standardized capability specifications, pricing structures, and availability timelines. This enables pharmaceutical companies pursuing protein crystallization, materials labs developing advanced alloys and material, biotechnology researchers conducting organoid studies, and manufacturers seeking precision fabrication to efficiently identify, evaluate, and engage the right orbital partners for their specific mission requirements.
