From production in orbit to products back on Earth
Outpost Space Factories gives companies the infrastructure to manufacture in microgravity and bring finished products back to Earth. Customers bring the manufacturing process. Outpost provides the spacecraft, factory infrastructure, and precision return.
Manufacturing beyond gravity
Gravity has shaped every manufacturing process on Earth. It drives convection, sedimentation, buoyancy, and crystal defects that limit the performance of advanced materials. Remove gravity, and entirely new manufacturing pathways become possible.
Why manufacture in microgravity?
Across advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and industrial manufacturing, microgravity has proven its potential. Space Factories is built to turn that potential into production.
Uniform material formation
Without buoyancy-driven convection, materials solidify more consistently, improving homogeneity and reducing internal defects.
Stable composition
Particles remain evenly suspended rather than settling, producing consistent chemistry throughout the material.
Higher purity
Crystals, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and biological materials can develop with fewer structural imperfections.
New manufacturing pathways
Processes that fail under Earth's gravity become commercially viable in orbit.
From experiment to repeatable production
Microgravity research has proven what is possible. Outpost Space Factories provides the spacecraft, production environment, and return system needed to move advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and industrial processes toward repeatable production.
Your factory floor in orbit
Manufacture in pressurized conditions or the vacuum of space, then bring finished products back to Earth through the same reusable system. CarryAll is the platform behind Space Factories, providing the power, thermal control, communications, and precision return that connect orbital production to markets on Earth.
Manufacture in microgravity
Pressurized, temperature-controlled, ISS-compatible payload environment with high-power support for active processes.
Operate in orbit
Run dedicated manufacturing, research, and warehousing missions using payload architectures aligned with ISS and commercial space platform standards.
Return through CarryAll
Controlled, reusable return. Outpost handles orbit access and the trip home, so customers focus on what they make.
Deliver to Earth markets
Space-made products connect to commercial, defense, research, and industrial supply chains.
Manufacture. Return. Repeat.
Space Factories connects manufacturing, orbital operations, and Earth return through one reusable platform. Once a process is working, manufacturers can repeat it and grow capacity without building a new mission from scratch.
Build the supply chain for orbital production
The CarryAll Implementation Network brings together companies with the hardware, services, and technical expertise to translate terrestrial industrial processes into flight-ready capabilities.
