NanoLab

Core payload hardware is the NanoLab, a powerful box in the CubeSat form factor, measuring 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm. Every NanoLab has a circuit board that activates the experiment, turns it off and can be functioned for other activities. Customers have also deployed video cameras and a wide range of sensors inside NanoLabs.

Nanolabs are at the core of our philosophy: low-cost, open-sourced, standardized, miniaturized hardware that allows you, the customer, to focus more on the research rather than re-inventing the hardware ‘wheel” each time.

After being launched to the International Space Station (ISS), Nanolabs can be used for everything from building plant-growth chambers, studying DNA and radiation exposure, biology and biotechnology testing, materials and physical sciences, and more.

BLACKBOX

Remotely Commanded In-space Research Platform
We love working with the crew onboard the International Space Station (ISS) – but sometimes researchers want to use materials, chemicals, or biological agents that NASA deems just a bit too risky for the astronauts for manoeuvre themselves. So that’s why we built BlackBox!
BlackBox is a remotely commanded platform that has research fully integrated on the ground and completely contained from the astronaut crew. All the astronauts have to do is plug the entire locker-sized platform in on-orbit for power and data. BlackBox allows for multiple experiments to occur simultaneously.

PLATE READER & REACTOR MICROPLATES

In-space Chemistry and Life Science Research Hardware
Nanoracks’ Plate-Reader-2 (2nd generation) is a reconfigured Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5e – one of the most reliable, durable, feature-rich microplate readers on the market.
Plate Reader-2 features a wide range of high-performance multi-mode reader capabilities ideal for life science research on the International Space Station (ISS) including absorbance, fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, and fluorescence polarization modes with full spectral range detection.

ZERO G OVEN

What Will You Cook Up in Space?
The Zero G Kitchen Oven is the first-ever oven in space! Before the Zero G Oven, no food item had ever been cooked from the raw in space. The oven is a cylindrical-shaped insulated container designed to hold and bake sealed food samples in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS).
The oven allows food samples to be placed in a tray where they will be held steady inside the oven while baking occurs. A cooling rack is also integrated into the outside of the oven. The insulation and venting mechanisms allow the oven to operate safely in the controlled environment of the ISS.

MIXSTIX

Mixture Enclosure Tubes for Chemical and Biological Research
Nanoracks’ Mixstix are mixture enclosure tubes for fluids, materials, chemicals and biological substances – all kept separate until they are ready to be mixed in space. Single, double, or triple experiment sample segments are available.
The International Space Station (ISS) crew release the block on the chambers and shakes the tube to mix the materials. All Mixstix are 10 ml parylene coated silicon tubes. Mixstix can be stowed cold (+4°C), or ambient on launch, berth, pre/post operations, and on payload return to Earth.

ISS External Payload Platform

Standard / Economy Option
The Nanoracks External Platform (NREP) provides turnkey communication, power, and operations to hosted payloads mounted on the outside of the ISS.

ISS Bishop Payload Platform

Advanced / Large Option
The Nanoracks Bishop Airlock expands capabilities for larger, more advanced hardware, including an array of pointing options such as Ram, Wake, Zenith and Nadir.

Airlock Module (Bishop)

Nanoracks Bishop Airlock is the first permanent, commercial addition to the International Space Station (ISS) infrastructure. The Bishop Airlock offers 5x the current volume that can be moved in and out of the Space Station today.

Built and operated by Nanoracks, Bishop enables commercial utilization of the ISS to its fullest extent. Bishop’s unique bell-jar design allows this airlock to function in a multitude of ways, expanding the services we provide our customers every day in space. Bishop was designed to function today on the ISS, and tomorrow, detached and moved onto a Nanoracks Outpost.

Gambit

Announced in September 2023 the installation of a new, self-built payload, Gambit, to its Bishop Airlock on the International Space Station (ISS). This achievement marks a unique milestone for the Bishop Airlock, introducing advanced testing capabilities to its external payload sites, and setting the stage for enhanced utilization of the ISS.

The Bishop Airlock, launched in December 2020, is the first permanent, commercial addition to the ISS, and features six external payload sites. One of Gambit’s primary goals is to serve as a testing platform to demonstrate robotic transfer and installation processes at these external sites. Equipped with a suite of sensors, Gambit will also provide critical and detailed data on external payload operations. Its sensors will verify the functionality of the Bishop Airlock’s external sites and gather environmental data critical to future payloads. This data will be invaluable in ensuring the success of upcoming scientific missions and commercial endeavours, both poised to leverage these sites.

“Gambit’s successful installation is not only cause for celebration within the Voyager Space team, but also across the broader space industry,” said Matt Kuta, President, Voyager Space. “With its suite of sensors, robust data collection capabilities and innovative robotic development, Gambit exemplifies the potential of the Bishop Airlock’s external payload sites and enhances the ability of the ISS and future space stations, like Starlab, to conduct new, groundbreaking research and host exciting commercial ventures.”

Transported to the ISS within the pressurized stowage of NG-19 in 2023, Gambit was transferred from inside the station to the Bishop Airlock external site using the Nanoracks Payload Transfer Flight Support Equipment (FSE). Installation of Gambit was completed on August 28, 2023. Both the Bishop Airlock and Gambit were designed and built by Nanoracks, which was acquired by Voyager in 2020 and is now part of Voyager’s Exploration Segment.

“Thanks to the advanced robotics employed in the installation process, Gambit will be relocated to different external sites on a regular basis,” continued Kuta. “This strategic maneuvering will allow Gambit to capture a diverse range of data and images, enriching our understanding of the space environment today and into the future.”

OUTPOST

Commercial Platforms in Orbit
The future of in-space infrastructure has arrived. Leveraging 10+ years of providing commercial in-space services, the Outpost program will transform used launch vehicle upper stages into controllable platforms across multiple orbits.

Imagine a future where Nanoracks-built hardware allows the empty fuel tank of any rocket to come back to life after its primary mission, but this time as a facility for robotic manufacturing, satellite servicing, a greenhouse, and more. Outposts are pillars of infrastructure-as-a-service in space, democratizing access while prioritizing orbital sustainability – what would otherwise become a discarded hunk of metal will live on as a versatile platform.

Each Outpost is brought to life by Nanoracks’ Mission Extension Kit (MEK), a hardware solution that provides power, pointing, data-handling, and communications for the Outpost. The MEK becomes the brains and heartbeat of the now-repurposed upper stage.

Nanoracks is now accepting payloads for our initial Outposts, first scheduled to fly in 2024. These Outposts will serve as persistent infrastructure for doing business in orbit.

Voyager and Nanoracks are excited to announce that our first Outpost demonstration mission (Outpost Mars Demo-1) is expected to launch this month aboard SpaceX’s Transporter 5 rideshare flight.

Status Comment

Marking this Outpost entry Cancelled, because it was meant to repurpose spent rocket stages. Space station work nevertheless continues under Starlab.

Nanoracks just made space construction and manufacturing history with the first demonstration of cutting metal in orbit. 

Outpost Mars Demo-1
Voyager and Nanoracks are excited to announce that our first Outpost demonstration mission (Outpost Mars Demo-1) is expected to launch this month aboard SpaceX’s Transporter 5 rideshare flight. This mission is part of our Outpost Program, which is focused on transforming used launch vehicle upper stages into uncrewed, controllable platforms. Nanoracks designed a self-contained hosted payload platform to demonstrate on-orbit, debris-free, robotic metal cutting.

Maritime Launch Services and Houston-based Nanoracks have signed an agreement to work on repurposing the upper stages of MLS's rockets — the parts of the vehicle that contained fuel and are released as it climbs into orbit. The company plans to use Cyclone 4M rockets, designed by Ukrainian company Yuzhnoye and manufactured by Yuzhmash.

Nanoracks made space construction and manufacturing history with the first demonstration of cutting metal in orbit. The technique could be critical for the next generation of large-scale space stations and even lunar habitats.

Status Comment

Being consolidated under Voyager Space brand as of early 2024.

Space-Grown Crops for Earth’s Farms Article 2020-11-12 >

A new commercial space market is poised to take off. And surprisingly, this market could not be more down-to-Earth: that of “farming” in space. This AgTech market will be an important part of helping decrease the debilitating impact of climate migration, which is already tearing up families and economies in Latin America, and one of the root causes of migration on our Southern border.

The Plan to Turn Scrapped Rockets Into Space Stations News 2020-11-11 >

The Nanoracks program, known as Outpost, will modify rockets after they’re done with their mission to give them a second life. The first Outposts will be uncrewed stations made from the upper stages of new rockets, but Manber says it’s possible that future stations could host people or be built from rocket stages already in orbit. In the beginning, Nanoracks won’t use the interior of the rocket and will mount experiment payloads, power supply modules, and small propulsion units to the outside of the fuselage. Once company engineers have that figured out, they can focus on developing the inside of the rocket as a pressurized laboratory.
