Jaguar Space

Jaguar Space LLC is a bioastronautics consulting and access-to-space firm founded in 2024 by Dr. Luis Zea, an adjunct professor of aerospace engineering sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder with over 25 space payload missions to his credit, including experiments on the International Space Station and Artemis I. The company helps customers in government, academia, and industry turn space into a competitive advantage.

Jaguar Space specializes in designing and flying biological and agricultural research payloads in microgravity, conducting space science experiments that generate commercially valuable insights. The firm provides end-to-end services including spaceflight experiment design, payload hardware development, access to space platforms, techno-economic analysis, and strategic technology roadmaps. It is particularly active in the Latin American space ecosystem.

The company's flagship payload portfolio includes MICROBREW-1 (a yeast fermentation study), OASIS (crop cultivation in simulated Martian regolith), and WORLD SEEDS (a multinational seed resilience study), all of which launched to the ISS aboard NASA's Crew-11 mission in July 2025. These missions advance both space life support research and terrestrial applications in food security and sustainable agriculture.
