ORBIT FOR LIFE

ORBIT FOR LIFE is a space initiative based in Pfäffikon, Switzerland. It promotes life sciences projects in low Earth orbit. The site also covers in-orbit manufacturing with 3D printing, quantum computing and other deep tech.

Its stated goal is to connect existing and new community members. It offers outreach and information for the life sciences, biotech and medtech sectors, with a focus on Commercial LEO Destination initiatives.

The mission is to use microgravity to build knowledge in life sciences, data processing and manufacturing. The initiative wants to make these fields open to more people through public engagement, education and strategic projects. Its objectives include promoting research, running awareness campaigns, organising events and workshops, and supporting international work between scientists, academics and industry.

In life sciences, it supports research on human health in space, pharmaceutical and biotech work, biomedical ideas and regenerative medicine. In data processing, it promotes AI and machine learning, big data, cybersecurity and decentralised computing. In manufacturing, it focuses on 3D printing, new materials and sustainable production using space resources.

Current projects include technology transfer, organoids and stem cell research. A project called Bio Fabrication is listed as a pre-flight project. The site also shows an award announcement.

The address is 23 Etzelstrasse, Pfäffikon SZ, 8808, Switzerland. The phone number is +41 43 548 57 73.
