Artificial gravity needs a 10x investment. Humanity can’t call itself a proper spacefaring species until it can travel long distances without getting sick. But like Mars, it has always been “20 years away” for the past 60. Who is actually working this problem?

Yes we are. And we haven’t shoved it to the back of our roadmap (not a criticism of the awesome companies in this space, simply that we’ve committed for better or worse @gravityLabSpace to this being the core and immediate problem to tackle from mission 1. It’s wonderful to…

Fun podcast to do, thanks to Evona! TL;DR: read a lot. Surround yourself with amazing people. Fall in love with the things you spend time on. Don’t be afraid to fail. youtu.be/x6N2xTCAHks?si…

It’s what we’re about, for those who want to crack this nut in a low-cost way…

Imo artificial gravity is far and away the number one thing we should've been studying during our last 20 years in LEO and it is just about the only thing we didn't study at all. At least we got a plethora of data showing why its so important...

@GrantBonin on @gravityLabSpace! Talking not just how to explore and live in space, but how we can ✨thrive✨ 💪

gravityLab explores and exploits spin gravity for living and building off-planet. Our upcoming missions let customers dial gravity like a thermostat. Complementary to space station capabilities, we use smallsats to go from order-to-orbit as fast as possible. DM to chat @SmallSat

Alright fellow #SmallSat familiar and new faces, it’s that time of year. @IsaCFritz and I are doing it in style as usual: epic road trip with some camping added to the trip. DM to meet up!

Grant Bonin, Co-Founder & CEO of @gravityLabSpace, will give a plenary talk at the 2024 International Mars Society Convention in August. His Seattle-based company specializes in artificial gravity satellites for research and manufacturing in low Earth orbit. #mars2024 #science

DFL is a world-class test facility. I’ve had the privilege of doing environmental test campaigns of satellites spanning three orders of magnitude in size there. Good luck recreating this capability if it goes away… In an age where low-cost big satellites might finally become…


gravityLab will be at #satellite2024 if you’d like to meet up! Send us a DM to talk about applications of programmable gravity in small spacecraft!


Congratulations @VardaSpace! Amazing to see companies embracing “turning the knob” of gravity to enable new manufacturing. This is exactly the service we aim to provide, but in flight and for months to years if needed.

By isolating gravity as a variable we can now directly map the influence of gravity to product performance metrics

@ID_AA_Carmack we should talk about @gravityLabSpace :) this is essentially what we are doing but for extremely low-cost

Spin gravity for space has been talked about since before I was born, but still hasn’t been demonstrated. @SpaceX should Just Do It with a Dragon capsule, counterweight, and cable.



@gravityLabSpace is at NASA’s Human Research Program Investigator Workshop today and tomorrow! DM if you’d like to meet up #HRPIWS #NASA

I wish that this far into the space age we had better data on how humans function at gravity levels >µG and <1G. I've been beating that drum for coming up on 20yrs now. Glad to see companies like @vast and @GraviticsInc and @gravityLabSpace trying to create AG orbital platforms.

Way more cost effective to do this with @gravityLabSpace


Our CEO @grantbonin opines on valves, with moderate profanity ;)

A thousand words on valves and why they are every spacecraft engineer's worst nightmare, with contributions from @grantbonin, CEO of @gravityLabSpace, and Jake Teufert, CTO of @BenchmarkSpace techcrunch.com/2024/01/12/why…



Congrats to the teams at @ulalaunch, @blueorigin and @astrobotic! It was a beautiful launch, looking forward to many more. Godspeed on your journey to the moon, #Peregrine (and Centaur into heliocentric space)

The first U.S. commercial robotic launch to the Moon successfully lifted off Jan. 8 on the first flight of @ULALaunch’s #VulcanRocket. @Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission 1 lander is expected to reach the lunar surface in February: go.nasa.gov/3NVw46S

We are excited to welcome the incredible Amanda Knez (@alias_amanda) to our team. Amanda joins as a later-stage co-founder and COO to accelerate our first mission (pun intended) and lead our company’s growth, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

Very cool work being done by Kevin Crosby at Carthage on propellant gauging in space. @gravityLabSpace was fortunate enough to help with a prior STTR, and hoping to see this tech make orbit soon #ASGSR2023
