YURI, a space biotech company in Germany, has developed fully automated micro-labs with the size of a wallet and launch them on behalf of scientists around the world to the ISS, on orbital and suborbital spacecraft, on parabolic flights, and on drop towers.

YURI’s flight-proven hardware, SCIENCESHELLS, consists of experiment containers (OUTER SHELLS) and specific experiment inserts (INNER SHELLS). YURI provides you with ground models for testing and flight models that will be launched to space.

Especially, TYPE-IV is a frequently used ScienceShell that has been flown to the ISS multiple times, conducting a range of cell culturing experiments involving cancer, immune, and stem cells.

YURI has provided a variety of ScienceShells based on your needs:
-　TYPE-V and TYPE-IV for Active Cell Culturing in Microgravity
-　2x2-Chamber, 4-Chamber and 8-Chamber; they are like a Petri Dish for Microgravity Research
-　Mini Aquarium: an Aquatic System for Microgravity Research
-　Greenhouse for Growth of Higher Plants

Additionally, YURI has the space incubator, called ScienceTaxi, under development, which is going to be launched in 2024. In ScienceTaxi, 38 ScienceShells can be operated automatically; 16 ScienceShells are placed on the inner centrifuge, which can simulate the Earth, Mars, and Moon gravities. The remaining 22 are operated in uG environments.

Random Positioning Machine (RPM) and CLINOSTAT are the microgravity simulators on Earth. While RPM is a proven asset and valued by more than 60 research groups around the globe, including NASA and ESA, CLINOSTAT is an easy-to-use device for 24/7 microgravity research in your lab as well.

By providing the necessary containers designed for different applications, YURI will take your research to the ISS or any other orbital space craft. With YURI as your single point of contact, again, YURI gets you to space simpler, faster and more affordable.

YURI is a space biotech company, headquartered in Germany, with experience from more than 20 payloads on International Space Station (ISS) for, among others, NASA, ESA, DLR. The team of more than 30 space engineers and biologists supports researchers around the world.

As of September in 2023, YURI has:
● launched 151 labs by team
● supported 58 customers on 4 continents
● 138 space biology publications

YURI’s main purpose is to do Space Biotech for a Better Life. YURI enables research and manufacturing in microgravity, for example, on the ISS. By making access to microgravity simpler, quicker and more affordable, YURI opens it up to entirely new industries.
