Who it's for
Biomedical Research
Without gravity, biology accelerates and reorganizes. Build superior implants and layered biomaterials unburdened from gravity, advance oncology and stem-cell discovery, and grow induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) organoids and replacement tissue.
Pharmaceutical Discovery
Gravity-driven convection and sedimentation degrades crystal quality on Earth. In microgravity, proteins and small-molecule drugs form smaller, more uniform crystals, accelerating the pace of innovation.
Materials Science
On Earth, buoyancy-driven convection and sedimentation impede crystal growth. Microgravity and the vacuum of space allow production of next-generation materials and semiconductors.
Microgravity on Starfall
Time
Drop towers and parabolic flights last seconds. Starfall provides weeks of continuous microgravity with mission durations tailored to customer needs.
Space Environment
Creating vacuum and replicating microgravity on Earth is expensive and only partially effective. On-orbit manufacturing and testing can take advantage of the space environment itself: vacuum, radiation, and microgravity.
High-Cadence Launch Opportunity
Microgravity only matters if you can access it regularly and at scale. By launching on Starship, Starfall brings a reliable and scalable cadence previously unavailable to the market.
