Explore the full potential for your product.
Space is a home for unique conditions not easily imitated on Earth.
The elements of the space environment – ionizing radiation, extreme temperatures, near vacuum, and atomic oxygen – can be harnessed and leveraged for new product development and breakthrough innovations.
Find out how you can leverage extreme environments.
Platform
Space Radiation
Space in Low Earth Orbit offers a unique ionizing radiation environment resulting from solar particle events and galactic cosmic rays interacting with Earth’s Van Allen belts. Atomic scale particles can move through solid objects interacting with the atomic structure of other molecules and atoms along the way.
Vacuum
Space is devoid of nearly all matter and thus called a near vacuum. It is also an area of extremely low pressure.
Atomic Oxygen
In space, strong ultraviolet radiation breaks down oxygen molecules into single oxygen atoms (O), or atomic oxygen, which is in limitless supply.
Extreme Temperatures
Temperatures in space can fluctuate from very cold (-120 C) to very hot (+120 C).
Test materials in extreme environments
Use the space station as a materials testing platform. Push the limits by exposing materials to extreme environments uniquely available beyond the atmosphere.
Axiom provides a microgravity platform for entrepreneurial individuals and companies to gain a competitive advantage through breakthrough innovations.
