Rhodium Scientific

America's 1st Space Biotech turning space-based results in Biomanufacturing, Medicine, Agriculture into products on Earth. #BusinessOfScience

[Starlab @Starlab_Space]

From research to real-world impact — faster.

@RhScientific is partnering with Starlab Space to deliver biotech services, flight-proven hardware, and end-to-end mission support in low Earth orbit. From payload development to in-orbit operations and post-flight commercialization, the collaboration enables scalable, regulatory-aligned innovation in life sciences and biomanufacturing.

Together, the companies are helping bridge the gap between discovery and commercialization — turning microgravity research into practical solutions for industry, academia, and beyond.

[National Institute of Standards and Technology @NIST]

One small step for freeze-dried human liver tissue, one giant leap for standards.
NIST, @CommerceinSpace, and @RhScientific have sent seven NIST reference materials to the ISS.

How will space change them? We’ll find out after splashdown on Feb 26.

Phages shape microbial ecosystems on Earth—but what about in space? In our new study, we show that microgravity aboard the International Space Station reshapes phage–bacteria interactions, evolution, and fitness—with surprising benefits for targeting resistant pathogens on Earth. Great work @phil_huss @chuchitboonthav @RhScientific

Dragon Endurance and Crew-10 are settled in for our last night aboard @Space_Station. When there are two crews aboard during handover, we get this unique view from the zenith-docked Dragon looking down at the forward-docked Dragon. Tomorrow, Crew-10 will strap ourselves into this Dragon and head home. But tonight, one more breathtaking view…

@Astro_Ayers @af_academy @ISS_Research Thank you for being our expert #science hands in space for mission #RhodiumUSAFANIGHT! 💯🌱🚀

[Rhodium Scientific @RhScientific]

Check it out! 🔬 A big shout out to @Astro_Ayers for making our research happen on station. 🚀

[Nichole “Vapor” Ayers @Astro_Ayers]

I see you @af_academy! Proud of the @ISS_Research my alma mater is doing up here and excited to set it up and take part!

Couldn’t miss a chance to wear an Air Force shirt or two. 😉

Rhodium USAFA Non-Photosynthetic Inquiry into Growth Habit Traits, or Rhodium USAFA NIGHT, assesses the growth of genetically modified Small Plants for Agriculture in Confined Environments tomatoes (or SPACE tomatoes!) on the @Space_Station.

Understanding how these plants respond to space stressors could support the development of crops in closed agricultural systems that can grow with techniques other than photosynthesis.

These SPACE tomatoes will be compared to plants grown on the ground to further characterize the effects of cultivation in space.

[Beyond Earth Ventures @BeyondEarthTech]
