Space Cargo Unlimited takes strategic stake in microgravity flight provider Novespace
The investment backs broader access to parabolic-flight experiments for researchers and commercial users.
Microgravity experiments before spaceflight
Novespace operates modified aircraft on parabolic trajectories, creating brief periods of microgravity for experiments and technology tests. Researchers and commercial teams use the flights to assess hardware, biological and medical studies, and other technologies before committing them to spaceflight.
Space Cargo Unlimited’s strategic investment gives the space company a commercial shareholder alongside Novespace’s established public-sector roots. The parties did not disclose the investment amount; Novespace says the backing will help expand microgravity access and its parabolic-flight services.
