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.
