One of the most promising businesses that will be carried out in space is that of manufacturing substances in conditions of weightlessness or microgravity as experts prefer to say; what seems like something from the future is already a reality.
On June 12 of this same year, 2023, SpaceX launched a rocket that, in addition to carrying various satellites, also carried the prototype of the first space factory in history. It was built by Rocket lab for the company Barda space industries. It was an autonomous ship capable of to manufacture a substance for medicines that is very difficult and very expensive to produce on earth.
The Autonomous ship managed to manufacture the medicine and now all that remains is for the capsule with the product to return to earth, something that may occur in the coming weeks as soon as they fix a small paperwork problem, but what is news now is that the October 18 German companies have announced that they were joining together to create “Eva”, which is the world's first comprehensive microgravity service in order to investigate the development of biotechnological products.
These companies will offer solutions to develop everything from experiments the size of a shoe box to the construction of larger rocket caps, and they also report giving some clues about what can be achieved in space, especially related to science research. of life, specifically these German companies talk about developing monoclonal antibodies, stem cells, also achieving the crystallization of proteins or creating organoids that are like mini organs, in addition these companies have developed re-entry systems.
Launching rockets into space is being a big business, if not ask Elon Musk, we have an example in SpaceX but in the coming years it will also be a big business to collect what comes from space, the space industry plan of the future would be to remove the minimum amount of elements possible from the earth, since overcoming the earth's gravity is difficult and very expensive, so the ideal would be to send robots and autonomous systems that would be responsible for creating more complex structures, for example, mining facilities on the moon.
These mining facilities could supply resources to autonomous factories orbiting the Earth or the moon, factories where substances and alloys would be produced that would then be sent to Earth, so the final plan would be for much more to reach Earth than leave. of it, therefore developing entry systems for the Earth's atmosphere that are cheap and effective like the one in the video above and enabling reception areas, will be one of the big businesses in the coming years, by the way, this would be a very good opportunity For countries that, although they do not have highly developed technology, do have desert areas where capsules with goods can fall safely into open terrain and be easily picked up, it would be a good opportunity for those nations to enter the space business.
