RESEARCH

A proven, safe, and reliable platform for conducting research in space—empowering those shaping the future of humanity.

Research Opportunities

Autonomous Research

Utilize payload racks and lockers for your research and technology demonstrations. Take advantage of modular and custom payload size options available to meet unique requirements.

Human Tended Research

Conduct research using wearables or interacting with the payload rack. Receive specialized training to maximize research time through the flight profile and microgravity.

Charters

The suborbital space lab enables researchers, governments, and industry to experiment and train astronauts. The Charter program is a chance to fly to space and back on a Virgin Galactic craft while conducting zero-gravity experiments.

SUBORBITAL SPACE LAB

Featured Research

University of California, Berkeley – Space Computed Axial Lithography (SpaceCAL)

Computed axial lithography (CAL) is a new type of additive manufacturing. Unlike conventional 3D printing where objects are formed layer by layer, CAL forms objects all at once by rotating a vial of photopolymer while exposing it to a complex set of projected images, very similar to a CT scan.
