Hi, Karan here, I am one of the co-founders. We plan to release a product that will connect developers with experiments on ISS. You will be able to test, learn, and build your own products. Please sign up if you are interested when we launch.

Do you already have agreements with the ISS to make this happen, or is this just a landing page to measure interest?

Both :) We already have experiments on ISS that you can actually play around with and we want to measure interest.

Sorry, I should give more info. One of the experiments is a plant that grows on ISS. We collect the data that the plant is producing. Developers can even grow their own plant at home and compare their data with the data on ISS in realtime. Just to give you one example.

What's ISS?

The International Space Station

I'm reading this hopefully as the International Space Station.

I know it's not legal (I don't know that, actually, but at the very least it'd be trafficking), but if I could come up with an experiment on the ISS, it'd be to see if the effects of psilocybin and LSD have the same effects in space as they do on earth. Literally 'trip ship' experiments in mental spatial effects, visuals or lackthereof, and physiological experiments could be conducted in relative safety. The real innovation would be how NASA and their contractors would approach the experiment.

The most powerful unnatural feeling in the world (zero-G) and some of the most powerful chemicals to affect the brain.

Thats truly sounds interesting. Currently, we are focusing on these 3 primary investigations: extreme environment; earth observation; gravitropic research
