Providing accessible and affordable platform for microgravity experiments and technology demonstrations. First flight scheduled for mid-2027 – payload slots now open.

πŸš€ 120 km apogee
⏱️ Upto 6 min microgravity
πŸ“¦ 20 KU payload slots

Your Experiment,Our Launcher

Karman is designed for researchers who need repeatable, affordable access to microgravity. Whether you're validating space hardware or studying fundamental physics, our platform delivers.

πŸ“ Standardized Payload

Karman Units (KU) – 130Γ—130Γ—200 mm, up to 2 kg each. Cluster multiple units for larger experiments.

πŸ”¬ Research Domains

Life sciences, fluid physics, material science, electronics testing, and technology demonstration.

🎯 Precise Recovery

Guided parafoil brings your payload back within 1 km of the target. Post‑flight data and hardware returned.

πŸ“… Frequent Flights

Multiple missions per year. No more waiting years for a launch opportunity.
