Lambda

Lambda Space provides an end-to-end route for researchers and organisations seeking to test experiments in microgravity. Its Microgravity-as-a-Service offering supports projects from experiment definition through payload integration, testing, validation, flight and results. The company also provides engineering and simulation support to help customers prepare their experiments and payloads.

Lambda Space describes its approach as an iterative cycle: design and refine an experiment, fly it, learn from the results and repeat. This supports repeatable experimental campaigns and flexible payloads, with the aim of making access to microgravity faster and less costly than traditional options. Its platform, Vault, is a fixed-wing autonomous aircraft configured for parabolic microgravity flights and payload carriage.

The company’s services and platform are intended for a range of applications, including materials science, life sciences, fluid dynamics, in-space manufacturing, sensors and components, and space hardware validation. Based in Turin, Italy, Lambda Space invites prospective customers to share what they want to test so the team can determine how to fly the experiment.
