Exobiosphere will become the first commercial customer of Outpost's Space Factories platform, flying its Orbital High-Throughput System for microgravity drug discovery. The space biotech company will use Outpost's reusable CarryAll spacecraft to conduct disease research and drug development in orbit. Space Factories provides standardised, reusable infrastructure for orbital manufacturing and research, with reliable Earth return capabilities. The platform pairs CarryAll spacecraft with common services including power, thermal, and data interfaces, allowing customers to focus on their processes rather than building spacecraft. The agreement comes as demand for orbital research capacity exceeds International Space Station availability, and ahead of the ISS's planned 2030 decommissioning. Outpost's first orbital mission is scheduled for 2028. CarryAll vehicles can return cargo ranging from 200 kilograms to 10 metric tons, supporting sensitive research payloads in pressurised, ISS-compatible environments.

Outpost Technologies Corporation has launched Space Factories, a programme enabling companies to manufacture products in orbit without developing their own space infrastructure. The service provides standardised, reusable manufacturing modules, spacecraft, and Earth-return systems as a shared platform. The company will produce StarFiber, its own metal fluoride optical fibre, as the first product. These fibres offer lower signal loss than conventional silica fibres but require microgravity to avoid defects during production. Space Factories uses Outpost's CarryAll spacecraft as the foundation, providing power, communications, and recovery systems. Customers only customise the innermost manufacturing module, whilst sharing common infrastructure across missions. Recovered equipment can be refurbished and reflown. The platform targets products including optical fibres, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and advanced crystals that benefit from microgravity manufacturing. Companies can contact Outpost to discuss manufacturing modules.
