ResearchSat Pty Ltd

ResearchSat specialises in space-based biotechnology, offering proprietary Space Bioreactor platforms for microgravity research and in-orbit manufacturing of high-value pharmaceutical compounds. Our capabilities span full mission lifecycle—designing bespoke payloads, integrating scientific experiments, ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing launch and operations. We enable production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and complex biomolecules unachievable on Earth, leveraging microgravity to enhance molecular structures, stability, and efficacy.

Our turnkey services support researchers, universities, biotech firms, and pharmaceutical companies with cost-effective space access for hypothesis validation, drug discovery, and manufacturing scale-up.

Beyond biopharma, we advance plants, seedlings, agriculture, and advanced materials R&D. We handle end-to-end logistics—from satellite development to data delivery—ensuring rapid, reliable, commercially viable results.

ResearchSat uniquely combines space engineering and biotechnology to deliver commercially viable microgravity R&D and manufacturing. Our proprietary Space Bioreactor enables production of pharmaceutical compounds and biomolecules impossible or inefficient to make on Earth, offering unmatched quality, purity, and performance. We provide a turnkey service—covering payload design, integration, regulatory clearances, launch logistics, and in-orbit operations—reducing cost, complexity, and time-to-result for clients.

Unlike conventional space-access providers, we focus on application-driven outcomes, translating orbital experiments into tangible terrestrial healthcare and industrial benefits. Our low-barrier, small-sample-entry programs de-risk early-stage research, enabling clients to “test before they scale” in space. With in-house satellite manufacturing, mission management, and global launch partnerships, we control the full value chain, ensuring flexibility, speed, & reliability.

ResearchSat is a proud alumnus of the Venture Catalyst Space program, Australia’s first space-sector incubator, run by UniSA’s Innovation & Collaboration Centre (ICC), showcasing our early-stage innovation and startup excellence.

Building on that foundation, we were selected among the initial cohort of the AUCBG’s Growth Ramp Space Pathway program, designed by the Australian Centre for Business Growth to accelerate and scale South Australian space companies.

These recognitions underscore our institutional credibility and position us as a trusted partner in space-enabled biotechnology innovation—bridging academia, government support structures, and pioneering commercial applications.
