About
Space experiments often depend on costly, highly specialised control hardware, limiting access for smaller research teams and emerging space programmes. TIGERS-X provides a modular “central brain” for operating compact scientific payloads, using an architecture successfully deployed on the International Space Station. Its electronics, fluid containment and remote monitoring can support biological research in orbit. The same design principles are being applied to an affordable machine for preparing intravenous nutrition, extending the technology into healthcare while lowering barriers to future space research.
