The system, called LOUIS, consists of a specially designed capsule that is lifted by the drone and then released, allowing the payload to experience microgravity as it descends back to Earth.
During the first test in January, the capsule’s payload experienced about five seconds of microgravity as it fell from a height of 600 meters.
The company plans to continue developing its unmanned system with the aim of dropping capsules from a height of more than one kilometer. Gravitilab has yet to reveal pricing for the services, but encourages potential customers to write to them.
