WHY PRODUCE IN MICROGRAVITY ?

THE TEAM

DRIVING SECTORS

More than 30 years of space research have shown how space and its microgravity can provide a unique environment for both experiments and production.

The absence of gravity cannot be simulated durably on Earth. Without gravity, many of the physical limitations that exist on Earth simply disappear.

For many sectors, Space offers ideal conditions for making things that are impossible to produce on Earth, or for manufacturing more efficient products.

All physical processes involving phase changes are impacted: convection and sedimentation phenomena are almost absent in space microgravity at low Earth orbit.

For example, this can make alloys more uniform, facilitate the formation of perfect spheres, speed up crystallization.

In addition, some biological processes are accelerated, such as the reproduction of stem cells or the development of increased resistance to stresses less intense than those induced by microgravity.

AgriculturE

Exposing plants to space microgravity forces them to adapt
to stresses they would never experience on Earth.
The internal reorganization that this induces in individual plants
represents natural adaptation, which could give rise to new varieties
that are more resistant to conventional stresses on Earth.

Research currently in progress has shown the benefits
of such an approach, and analyses are continuing to see
how the process can be industrialized.

MEDICINE

3D printing of organ tissue or even complete organs
is optimized in microgravity. Similarly, microencapsulation
is facilitated, with the possibilities this offers for developing
the therapeutic solutions of the future.

Such innovative processes are very difficult to set up on Earth
and space microgravity can thus beused to demonstrate
their benefits, opening the way to still further medical progress
for the good of everyone on Earth.

Pharmaceutical
industry

Drug discovery requires the study of proteins in their crystallized
form, something that is difficult to achieve on Earth.
Protein crystallization in space microgravity can thus lead to advances
in pharmaceutical research.

The scientific community expects to learn a lot from the analysis
of monoclonal antibodies, whichwere first studied in Space.
This research could lead to significant changes in the treatment
of cancers and autoimmune diseases.

Why produce
in microgravity?

Without gravity, many of the physical limitations that exist
on Earth simply disappear.
For many sectors, Space offers ideal conditions for making
things that are impossible to produce on Earth, or for making
existing products more efficient.

All physical processes involving phase changes are impacted:
convection and sedimentation phenomena are almost absent
in space microgravity.
This can make alloys more homogenous, facilitate the formation
of perfect spheres, speed up crystallization.
In addition, some biological processes are accelerated, such as
the reproduction of stem cells or the increase of cells resistance
as they are exposed back on Earth to stresses less
intense than those induced by Space microgravity.

Space vacuum can also be used like a clean room, with a total
absence of dust.
Alternating extreme temperatures can also be
used to test the strength of certain materials.
And finally, the presence of cosmic radiation can be used
to alter certain biological components and study their behavior
in the face of particular stresses.

REV1 opens up immense potential for industry, whether for
fundamental innovation or optimal performance.

The next few years will see the emergence of solutions still
unimaginable by humans today.
