ENNEDY SPACE CENTER (FL), October 24, 2018 –The International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), today announced a series of project awards stemming from a funding opportunity on human physiology and disease onboard the orbiting laboratory.
SpacePharma SA selected ISIS – Innovative Solutions In Space B.V. to build the platform and integrate the payload for their next mission, DIDO-3, with support for satellite commissioning after launch. The agreement is a continuation of a fruitful cooperation to realize SpacePharma’s previous satellite, named DIDO-2, which was the proof of concept mission to test miniaturized end-to-end pharmaceutical laboratory in space, allowing microgravity conditions.
Organs-on-chips technology are about to take flight, literally. The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space co-granted funding last year to launch five research teams’ chips into space. The projects will be shuttled over the span of two launches, the first in November and the next in February.
NCATS has partnered with the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) to collaborate on refining tissue chip technology for biomedical research use at the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory (ISS-NL).
Huge honor! SpacePharma has been selected for Red Herring's top 100 companies in North America!
A startup of Courgenay launched in 2012 to conquer space. Last Wednesday, SpacePharma positioned in orbit, thanks to an Indian launcher, a nanosatellite of research. This miniaturized laboratory is a small revolution. For the first time, according to Martin Aegbi, the CEO, laboratories will be able to carry out their tests, at a lower cost, directly, without going through the ISS, and in a very short time.
Research goes airborne: The UZH Space Hub is holding its first research flight campaign from 11 to 13 June. An airbus performing parabolic flights will take off from the military airfield in Dübendorf. In addition, a zeppelin will be used to investigate how to discover plastic in water from above using special image sensors. This could help to detect plastic pollution in the world’s seas.
MILAN - The first 'extraterrestrial' factories are getting ready to become reality: as early as 2019 the first in-orbit tests will begin to develop the technologies necessary to produce in gravity-free conditions on small Earth-controlled satellites.
Spacepharma specializes in medical experiments in microgravity, that is approximate weightlessness. This can accelerate research processes for new drugs or vaccines. In weightlessness, crystals, proteins, liquids and human genomes react differently than on Earth.
Fast Company's Top 10 lists recognize pioneering companies across 36 categories, from artificial intelligence to wellness. More than three dozen Fast Company editors, reporters, and contributors surveyed thousands of companies to create these lists. The ranking recognizes companies that exemplify the best in business and innovation in their respective fields.
Once again SpacePharma is very proud to be nominate as second place for innovation in Space. Now it is your turn to use this great machine for the benefits of mankind.... One more small dosage, few more unique molecules will shape our future. Cheers for better life, better food, better science using microgravity conditions.
Space has become an increasingly attractive destination for research, manufacturing and more, as its microgravity environment offers a unique platform for scientific exploration. Microgravity causes changes in biological systems and alters fundamental physical phenomena, enabling novel experiments.
SpacePharma offers its customers to carry out microgravity experiments with remote controlled laboratories.
On the sidelines of the Ilan Ramon conference in Tel Aviv on space, Italy and Israel signed an agreement to enable the creation of a joint micro-gravity laboratory. The announcement was made by the Italian embassy, which noted that - in February 2019 - there may be the launch from an Italian-produced Vega shuttle of a space module the size of an electric bicycle battery made by the Israel-based company SpacePharma.
Flow chemistry in space–a unique opportunity to perform extraterrestrial research For successful deep space exploration, a vast amount of chemistry-related challenges has to be overcome. In the last two decades, flow chemistry has matured enough to take the lead in performing chemical research in space. This perspective article summarizes the state of the art of space chemistry, analyzes the suitability of flow chemistry in extraterrestrial environment, and discusses some of the challenges and opportunities in space chemistry ranging from establishing an end-to-end microfactory to asteroid mining.

SpacePharma establishes communications with its first nanosatellite.
Company inching closer to offering scientific community a third viable platform for affordable access to microgravity
COURGENAY, Switzerland – Officials with SpacePharma SA, a world leader in providing simplified, high-value microgravity services, today issued the following statement regarding its orbiting nanosatellite, DIDO, which was one of 104 satellites launched on Feb. 15 aboard Indian Space Research Organization’s PSLV-C37 rocket:
“Today, we established a successful communications link with DIDO, SpacePharma’s nanosatellite equipped with mGnify, our proprietary miniaturized, end-to-end laboratory that allows researchers to remotely control vital scientific experiments anywhere from Earth,” said Yossi Yamin, founder of SpacePharma SA. “Everything on board DIDO appears to be working properly. We look forward to fully activating mGnify in the coming weeks and launching a suite of scientific experiments for our research customers. At that point, we will officially have three viable platforms – ground simulators, parabolic flights and nanosatellites – for achieving affordable access to microgravity.”

SpacePharma SA completes first step in securing new platform for affordable access to microgravity
BASEL, Switzerland – Officials with SpacePharma SA, a world leader in providing simplified, high-value microgravity services, today issued the following statement on the successful launch of the Indian Space Research Organisation’s PSLV-C37 rocket, which carried SpacePharma’s DIDO nanosatellite – one of 101 nanosatellites on board:
“Today’s launch marks an important milestone in SpacePharma’s quest to offer researchers affordable access to microgravity through multiple platforms,” said Yossi Yamin, founder of SpacePharma SA. “The rocket carried our newest platform, a nanosatellite named DIDO. This nanosatellite is equipped with mGnify, our proprietary miniaturized, end-to-end laboratory that allows researchers to remotely control vital scientific experiments anywhere from Earth. We plan to establish communication with DIDO in a few days, which then sets the stage for full activation of mGnify shortly thereafter. Once fully activated, our science customers will be able to fully control their on-board experiments and receive valuable scientific data directly on the device of their choice.”
