About
The Kairo Space 8U Bio-Platform is a CubeSat satellite bus specifically configured for microgravity biology and life science experiments in LEO. The 8U form factor provides substantially more volume than standard 3U platforms, accommodating biological sample containers, environmental control systems, and imaging hardware required for pharmaceutical and astrobiology research missions.
The platform integrates Kairo Space’s own power, attitude control, and communication subsystems, with payload interfaces designed to accommodate temperature-controlled biological experiment modules. It targets research institutions and pharmaceutical companies seeking access to the microgravity environment.
