Product/Service - Carousel Spacelab

Classification: In-Space Transportation

Category: Active Debris Removal (ADR)
Microgravity Flight Service (LEO)
Microgravity Science

Fields: In-Space Transportation
Automated Microgravity Laboratory

Status: Early stage

First launch: Not announced

Carousel Spacelab is a small, free-flying centrifuge that our customers will use to apply periodic spin-gravity (i.e. centrifugal force) for those situations where gravity is useful. Just as with other processes that require fine control of temperature or pressure, Carousel Spacelab will give customers a “master control knob” for gravity.

Hosting a number of customer payloads (in the cubesat form factor), the spacecraft is designed to fold up to fit into the payload bay of a small launch provider or rideshare vehicle, then deploy once in low Earth orbit. The mission profile will also help to accelerate practical and cost-effective in-space manufacturing methods by freeing customers from the constraints of working onboard the ISS. With an optional grapple fixture, the spacecraft can be captured by a space station robotic arm when it’s time for payloads to be retrieved for return to customers.
