Flight History

To date, BioServe has designed, manufactured, and operated hundreds of science payloads on over 90 spaceflight missions. Our payloads have flown on eight different types of spacecraft (Shuttle, Progress, Soyuz, HTV, Dragon, Cygnus, Orion, and New Shepard) and two space stations (Mir and ISS). We are continually developing new space life science research and designing new or updating existing hardware to support that research. This keeps BioServe on the forefront of space life science research.
