Genesis Space Flight Laboratories develops reentry capsules and provides platforms for microgravity research, including PocketQube-sized GEN payload platforms. Founded one year prior in Croatia, the company has completed two space missions — the orbital MAYASAT-1 mission aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 (Transporter-14) and the GEN-1 reentry demonstration on SSC Space’s RED KITE-powered sounding rocket — and has successfully flown and returned customer payloads. It validated two research payload modules on GEN-1, conducting fruit fly microgravity experiments and microbiology research on fungi and algae using a 25-sample NIR analysis platform. The company has established partnerships across Europe and with U.S. launch providers and built an early institutional customer base with repeat customers. With the recent Seed close, bringing total venture funding to €1.5 million, Genesis plans to develop the larger GEN-5 capsule, enable longer-duration missions, and expand its international team.
