The Japanese HTV-3 cargo ship that docked this morning at the International Space Station carried along a small, CubeSat satellite that will be among the first nano-satellites to be deployed from the space station via the JAXA satellite launcher.
NanoRacks’ customer FPT University of Hanoi, Vietnam, has spent years building their educational satellite and it joins three Japanes…
Investigation Conclusion:
Michael Johnson and his team have concluded that the failure of the research hardware for NCESSE to have been activated took place because of a flaw in the training procedures.
Previous crews were given on-the-ground review and personal interaction prior to launch. For this mission, the astronaut was the first to receive hardware training solely via video while on…
Recently the hardware that was launched on SpaceX returned safely on Soyuz. As the schools receive the MixStix and begin to analyze the results, we are learning that many of the projects were not activated while on the International Space Station.
Our CTO Michael Johnson has pulled together a team that will coordinate with NASA to determine whether this was a hardware error or flaw in t…
NanoRacks and the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) of Saudi Arabia have announced a multi-year program that provides Saudi students with an attractive pathway to implement projects using NanoRacks’ facilities on the U.S. National Lab on the International Space Station.
At the signing ceremony in Riyhadi, Saudi Arabia, Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Suwaiyel, KACST President,…
NASA’s 2011 SBIR and STTR Program Announcements have come out and for the second year NASA continues to seek to build up the NanoRacks’ standardization of payloads for the U.S. National Lab. In several areas, both Ames Research Center and Johnson Space Center and HQ have indicated their interest in receiving proposals that would allow user payloads to efficiently interact with our current and…
The German Space Agency DLR hosted a full day workshop in Bonn that brought together all sectors of German industry to explore using the NanoRacks’ facilities for industry utilization of the International Space Station.
The event included manufacturers, distributors, researchers, government officials and business development organizations. The overall goal was to discuss strategy for…
Everyone has to check out this incredible video from our friends at Valley Christian, as both students and adult mentors show the enthusiasm, passion and expertise that has gone into this first high school research project aboard the U.S. National Laboratory on ISS.
All of us at NanoRacks are really pleased to have helped bring this project to reality and can’t wait for the results. Watch t…
NanoRacks and NASA have signed a Space Act Agreement giving NanoRacks the rights to develop for the NanoRacks Platforms on space station Ames Research hardware intended for biopharm research.
Our biopharma samples returned first to Earth on Soyuz and now to Houston; first results look awesome--great progress for #ISS research.
