Advanced Space Research
Founded in 2014, Rhodium Scientific is America’s first commercial space biotechnology company and a pioneer in enabling research and manufacturing in low Earth orbit. As both an Implementation Partner and Commercial Services Provider for the International Space Station (ISS) and emerging private space platforms, Rhodium translates terrestrial laboratory protocols into flight-ready experiments that meet the rigorous quality, regulatory, and operational standards required by the global biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Through an international network of strategic partnerships, Rhodium Scientific bridges the space and life science sectors to unlock the unique advantages of microgravity for research and production. Working with government agencies, academic institutions, and commercial enterprises, Rhodium advances innovation across agriculture, biomanufacturing, life sciences, biomedical research, and pharmaceutical development—helping transform low Earth orbit into a sustainable platform for scientific discovery and commercial return.
Science on a Mission
Rhodium Scientific collaborates nationally and internationally with industry, academia, and government to provide space-based life science expertise, NASA mission integration and operation (MI&O) protocols, and rapid access to the microgravity environment on the International Space Station and other commercial space platforms.
Turning Discoveries Into Products
We specialize in translating laboratory protocols into practical, on-orbit science operations. Our team provides a portfolio of flight-certified hardware designed to meet biomanufacturing, research, and product testing needs.
Every mission undergoes rigorous quality assurance through our proprietary Rhodium QuIC Space (Quality, Industry Compatible Space) process, ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and fundamental discovery regulations.
We are committed to turning discoveries made in space into meaningful, real-world products on Earth.
