Captured aboard the 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝟭𝟳 sounding rocket during our 𝗚-𝟭 mission, this image shows Earth as seen from the rocket following launch from 𝗘𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻.

📍 Launch Date: 31 May 2026
🕒 Launch Time: 06:33 UTC
🚀 Vehicle: Red Kite M17
📈 Apogee: ~260 km
⚡ Maximum Speed: Mach 7+

The mission carried a range of scientific and educational payloads, including biological experiments, passive research samples, and technology demonstrations. Following approximately 420 sec of microgravity, the payloads successfully returned to Earth and were recovered the same day.

From launch and ascent to microgravity, reentry, and recovery, the mission demonstrated the complete end-to-end operation of the GEN-1p returnable payload platform.

Today, we had the pleasure of handing over the spaceflown artwork of Albert László Art, which flew aboard our 𝗚𝗘𝗡-𝟭𝗣 demonstration mission and has now successfully completed its journey to space and back.

This unique artwork traveled beyond Earth, experienced microgravity conditions, and safely returned together with the recovered mission payloads following a successful launch, reentry, and recovery campaign.

A special thank you to Horváth Károly (Walp Service Kft) and Gyula Gál of QualiRent Engineering Kft., whose support helped make this unique endeavor possible. We are also proud that the artwork will now continue its journey through a charity auction, helping to support a meaningful cause.

The visit included a mission debriefing, a presentation of the flight, and an opportunity to look back at the milestones that transformed an idea into a flown and recovered space artifact.

At Genesis, we believe that space is not only a destination for science and technology, but also a place for creativity, culture, and human expression.

🚀 How does life respond to spaceflight?

Before launch, our team prepared and integrated the biological payloads for the GEN-1P mission.

Using infrared (IR) sensors, we monitored algae, fungi, and other samples in real time during microgravity, helping us better understand how life responds to spaceflight.

We also prepared the habitat for our tiny astronauts, fruit flies, which successfully traveled to space and returned safely to Earth. 🪰

Every mission starts with careful preparation, and every sample has a story to tell.

🚀 On Sunday, 31 May at 06:33 UTC, GEN-1p Demo Mission successfully launched from Esrange Space Center, Sweden.

The mission completed 420 sec of uninterrupted microgravity and successfully returned both active and passive payloads following atmospheric reentry.

Biological samples, artwork, and customer payloads were recovered, while hundreds of names from around the world flew aboard the GEN-1P onboard computer.

An exciting milestone for the development of our reusable reentry capsule platform.

Thank you to SSC Space for the ride to space.

More updates soon.

Not an ISS experiment, but our own unmanned microgravity research mission conducted aboard GEN-1P, reentry capsule.

Last Sunday, GEN-1P was launched into space from Esrange Space Center aboard an SSC Space sounding rocket, carrying active biological research payloads designed to study how living organisms respond to microgravity and spaceflight-related stress.

One of the onboard experiments hosted fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), among the most important model organisms in life sciences. Around 75% of genes associated with human diseases are also found in fruit flies, making them highly valuable for genetics, aging, immune response, and space biology research.

Our team has now successfully recovered all payloads following atmospheric reentry, and we are currently downloading and analyzing the first onboard footage recorded during the mission.

Following recovery, our tiny astronauts were preserved for post-flight genetic analysis.

More onboard footage and mission updates coming soon.

This morning, Genesis Space Flight Laboratories successfully launched the GEN-1P demonstration mission from Esrange Space Center, Sweden.

The mission carried two active biological research modules designed to validate GEN reentry capsule subsystems during spaceflight and atmospheric reentry:

🔬 A microbiology research module monitored biomass and chlorophyll changes in algae and yeast samples in real time using 25 near infrared (NIR) sensors.

🪰 A microgravity insect habitat hosted fruit flies (Drosophila) for biological research under microgravity conditions.

The mission successfully completed its microgravity phase, and payload recovery operations are currently underway. Our team is now preparing for post flight sample handling, preservation, and analysis following payload return.

Recovered biological samples are expected to be shipped back to customers and research partners later this week.

This mission represents an important milestone for the development of the GEN reentry capsule platform and future autonomous biological research missions in space.

A big thank you to the SSC Space team for the support and ride to space.

More updates soon.

The countdown has officially started for the GEN-1P test launch.

Sooner than expected, our payload is now scheduled to launch this week from Esrange Space Center in Sweden, as confirmed by our launch provider, SSC Space.

This marks the debut mission of the GEN-1P capsule by Genesis Space Flight Laboratories and an important milestone for our reusable reentry capsule program.

For this mission, we are utilizing a 1U CubeSat slot instead of the PocketQube standard for which the GEN capsules were originally designed, allowing us to fly and test multiple subsystems and active microgravity payloads within a single launch.

Tomorrow’s mission includes:

🔬 GEN-1P Research Rideshare Module
Featuring 25 biosamples monitored by NIR sensors to map changes in biomass and chlorophyll during spaceflight.

🪰 GEN-1P Microgravity Insect Habitat
Hosting fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) in four divided compartments to study spaceflight-induced stress through RNA studies and behavioral analysis.

🌱 Additionally, smaller commercial items and passive payloads, including seeds from customers, were integrated into the mission. All names submitted to fly digitally aboard the mission have also been uploaded to the onboard computer.

During the mission, we will monitor system performance and record data throughout spaceflight and atmospheric reentry. Upon successful recovery, the flies will be preserved for future genetic studies and customer samples will be returned later this week.

A huge thank you to our technical team, management, investors, launch provider, partners, and subcontractors who helped make this mission possible.

Special thanks to:
Fil Rouge Capital - FRC, SSC Space, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Labi Space, Metalska jezgra Čakovec / Metal Centre Čakovec and Metalska Jezgra.

At what point does 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 become truly 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲?

Last night at 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵?, hosted at the VEGA Observatory in Salzburg, that question moved from theory to reality.

From keynote insights by Manfred Jaumann to discussions across 𝘂𝗽𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 and 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, the future of the space economy depends on 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.

At Genesis Space Flight Laboratories, we’re working on exactly that.

By enabling 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁, and 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 access to 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 for 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, and 𝗶𝗻-𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

We were glad to be on-site with our 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺, engaging directly with 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀, and 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 on what comes next beyond traditional space infrastructure.

If you’re looking to test, validate, or demonstrate your product in microgravity, let’s talk.

15 hours. Then it’s closed.

340 participants. 31 countries. One mission.

People from around the world are sending their name to space aboard our GEN reentry capsule.

Every name will fly. But three will receive a space-grade aluminum plate, engraved with their name, flown to space and returned to Earth.
