Advanced MicroGravity R&D to Power the Space Race…from BioGravityLLC

RPM

  • TOP 5 REASON TO CONSIDER THE BIOGRAVITY RPM PLATFORM FOR IN-LAB SIMULATED MICROGRAVITY

Low Cost– One-time fee enables endless experimenting and predictable costs

Faster Iterations– Desktop RPM is always there in the lab

Endless Time of Simulated Microgravity-Unlike suborbital spacecrafts (5-10 min), parabolic flights (20 s) and drop towers (9 s) unload gravity on your timetable for as long as you want.

Prepare for Flight | Reduce Variables– Duplication of expected results are far more guaranteed when you shakeout your biological experiments on the ground. Control for the effects of launch, radiation exposure, descent, and ground transport with a BioGravity platform in your own lab.

No Schedule Bumps, Military Delays or NASA Manifests-Cut through bureaucracy. It’s your experiment, deploy when you want on your own platform,

Push for Progressive Grants-Nothing sets up success like prior success. Get an early read and practical results without venturing to the heavens.
