Space Experiment Access Platform

Design the best way for each research project to reach space.

There is no single way to conduct an experiment in space.

Beyond the ISS, researchers can access commercial space stations, uncrewed recoverable satellites, short-duration opportunities, and long-duration orbital experiments.

The important question is not how to go to space, but how to

choose the space environment that best fits the research objective.

HOW WE PROCEED

PROCESS

  1. 01Research theme
  2. 02Define research requirements
  3. 03Survey space experiment opportunities
  4. 04Compare and evaluate
  5. 05Select access method
  6. 06Implementation plan
  7. 07Space experiment

IN PRACTICE

What we compare

  • 01Timing
  • 02Experiment duration
  • 03Payload size
  • 04Recovery conditions
  • 05Cost
  • 06Launch frequency
  • 07Risk
  • 08Alternative opportunities

We do not simply choose a way to go to space. We choose the space environment that best fits the research.
