Skylab
Experiments onboard Skylab prove that we can manufacture superior materials in space that are impossible to make on Earth. Samples include uniform alloys and semiconductor crystals.
in-Space. Without limits.
Innovate freely on regular missions that return.
We enable industries to manufacture in space at scale to improve life on Earth.

We are building a multi-platform ecosystem for in-space manufacturing and research in Low Earth Orbit.
We operate end-to-end missions with partner vehicles and our future REV1 system, handling everything from initial payload definition to in-flight operations and recovery.

REV1
REV1 brings 1-tonne scale and reusability
REV1 is our flagship all-in-one orbital services and return vehicle, purpose-built from the inside out to meet the demands of intensive microgravity cargo.
Engineered to empower BentoBox™, REV1 delivers the mass, volume, and power required to take microgravity from research to production.
Our fully reusable re-entry system allows for frequent flights with rapid turnaround, translating into accelerated development cycles and sustainable operations in Low-Earth Orbit.
With industrial performance and operational agility, REV1 is the foundation for scalable research, manufacturing, and commercialization in space.

Our journey
To orbit and back
Founded in 2015 to transform life on Earth by harnessing the full potential of space
our
mission
Making microgravity
a tool for humanity
Microgravity holds the key to unlocking transformative step-changes in technology.
Since life has existed on Earth, gravity is the only parameter that has remained constant.
Every major industrial innovation achieved has happened under this same consistent force. In orbit, weightlessness allows for new physical processes unconstrained by gravity.
This means defects that would usually arise in manufacturing processes can be avoided and highly efficient new products can be made.
our
vision
Empowering Earth
to harness space
Despite decades of promising research in materials and life sciences, full-scalability of microgravity-solutions have remained limited due to a bottleneck in capacity and access to space.
Space Cargo Unlimited was founded to change this. After leading the first fully private end-to-end mission on the ISS in 2019, we decided to build our own autonomous infrastructure.
Rather than building closed manufacturing systems, BentoBox™ and REV1™ are designed as enabling platforms that give customers access to the infrastructure, services, and operational support needed to develop, test, and scale products in microgravity.
