We build research and manufacturing systems into compact smart containers, called CubeLabs™. Installed in our hubs on the International Space Station, CubeLabs run autonomously and provide near real-time data and monitoring capabilities. The microgravity environment is a new frontier for discovery and innovation. By exploring it with industries of all kinds, we can improve life on Earth.
Plans to launch its own miniature, automated orbital research platform in about 2023. The space station, named ST-42, would be little more than a capsule with solar panels for electrical power and a heat shield.[ Plans to launch a test prototype in 2023 that wouldn't have a heat shield, just to test launch and spaceflight](http://plans to launch a test prototype in 2023 that wouldn't have a heat shield, just to test launch and spaceflight)
