It exploits the KUBIK incubator facility of the European Space Agency (ESA) which is permanently installed on the Columbus module of the ISS. With this approach several categories of experiments can be performed using available miniaturized “bioreactors” dedicated to biological, biotechnological and biochemistry experiments.

ESA is partnering with Kayser Italia to offer the Kubik facility on the International Space Station to commercial customers.
