Achieving Weightlessness on Earth: Gravitilab’s Breakthrough in Microgravity Testing
Gravitilab Aerospace Services Ltd offers unparalleled access to microgravity with their innovative solution.
The company has achieved up to 20 seconds of weightlessness through the release of their patent-protected “LOUIS” drop-pod from an altitude of 2,000 feet.
The use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has revolutionized access to microgravity on Earth.
Terrestrial microgravity testing has been limited to infrequent and costly trips, but Gravitilab offers a more affordable, locally accessible alternative.
The recent demonstration flight of their LOUIS UAV system aims to provide 5 to 20 seconds of high-quality microgravity.
This development is a pivotal step towards transforming testing across various industries by providing efficient and cost-effective access to microgravity environments.
Gravitilab has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in microgravity testing, unlocking the full potential of R&D in various industries.
Rob Adlard, a spokesperson for the company, expressed excitement over this “fantastic achievement” for Gravitilab, the Cornwall Space Cluster, and the UK Space Industry as a whole.
Gravitilab has been previously funded by both the UK Space Agency and private capital and is currently seeking new investors.
