Rideshare on GEN Reentry Spacecraft

Microgravity & On-Orbit Materials Research Rideshare on GEN Reentry Spacecraft.

Genesis offers rideshare slots and full-capsule rental options on its GEN spacecraft, a series of small-scale reentry vehicles that provide frequent access to microgravity environments in low Earth orbit and on suborbital flights, with payload return capabilities.

The GEN-P platform is ideal for agar-based experiments (4 mm diameter, 2 mm height) that react in the NIR spectrum; smaller pharmaceutical payloads for sample testing (from 5 mm × 5 mm × 27 mm in smaller racks up to 5.8 cm³ in larger racks for passive payloads); small lab-on-chip experiments (up to a 4.5 cm PCB board); and commercial items. The GEN bus provides communication and power supply up to 3.3 V.

Available Reentry Services:

• Passive sample delivery to and return from SSO (long-duration
  missions), ranging from several hours up to 9 months in orbit (approx.
  500 km deployment altitude)

• Passive suborbital missions (short duration: ~10 minutes in space)
  (270–300 km altitude)

• Active sample missions to and from SSO for microgravity experiments
  with IR sensing and payload return attempts (approx. 500 km deployment
  altitude)

• Active sample missions on suborbital flights for microgravity
  experiments with IR sensing and payload return attempts (270–300 km
  altitude)

• PocketQube hosted payloads (full volume, up to 25 active samples) with
  payload delivery and recovery attempts from SSO (approx. 500 km
  deployment altitude)

• PocketQube hosted payloads (full volume, up to 25 active samples) with
  payload delivery and recovery attempts from suborbital flights (270–300
  km altitude)

• CubeSat hosted payloads with payload delivery and return attempts from
  SSO (approx. 500 km deployment altitude)

• CubeSat hosted payloads with payload delivery and return attempts from
  suborbital flights (270–300 km altitude)

• On-orbit marketing visibility (logo placement) on GEN capsules during
  2026 and 2027 missions
