Space, do you copy? We are here!
“Every generation has the obligation to free men’s minds for a look at new worlds . . . to look out from a higher plateau than the last generation.”
-Ellison S. Onizuka, Challenger Astronaut
Exploring space has had our interest for decades now and rightly so, from the time a human walked on the Moon, to the thrilling Mars missions and recently the discovery of distant galaxies by the James Webb Space Telescope which has left us wonder-struck. Space never ceases to amaze us; in all honesty, we believe it will continue to do so until infinity.
Space exploration has become crucial and beneficial for us in numerous ways as the conditions in space vary from what we experience on Earth. Let’s take into consideration, Gravity. While on Earth every living organism, from humans to microbes experiences the force of gravity but when in space, this experience differs.
According to a 2016 article by The Conversation, a particular species of bacteria called Bacillus safensis, proved to grow 60% better in the micro-gravity environment as compared to that on Earth. As humans, we have evolved under the influence of gravity but there is still a keen interest in understanding the role of gravity in space. Owing to this curiosity, we are now keen to understand how space truly affects humans, microbes, and other living organisms and, ultimately, whether it can impact life on Earth.
To answer these questions, ResearchSat flared into existence. We provide a platform to researchers who are interested in space biology research as well as opportunities for drug development for pharmaceutical companies. We do this by developing satellites that act as a laboratory in space to help run experiments that can bring a change. Our payloads enable experiments with microorganisms to be conducted in space which can be leveraged to solve healthcare problems on earth. Our vision is to support life science research in micro-gravity to develop applications that will support human life as well as advance human space exploration.
One might wonder, when did space research become so approachable? What about the approval of the research? Are there documents that need to be taken care of? Lastly, what about the high launch cost and long mission time?
Well, ResearchSat provides a simple solution to this problem as we provide an end-to-end service for space science research to save our researchers from non-research operation fatigue. Our team also runs tests to prove that the payload is safe to be launched in space and provides feedback on data, in near real-time. While you focus on the thing that matters the most — your experiments, we work on the space experiment’s requirements and the payload’s development.
To sum it up, we deliver a low-risk solution to pharmaceutical companies and researchers who are looking to run micro-gravity experiments & research breakthroughs that will impact all of humanity.
