An orbital workplace

Make orbit
a place to work.

Tessera is Astreia’s modular orbital platform. It is being developed to support research and manufacturing in microgravity, turning time in space into useful work.

The platform and the return vehicle belong to the same mission: Tessera provides the place to work; Thor provides the way back.

01 / PREPARE

Start with the process.

Define the experiment or manufacturing task and the payload it needs.

02 / OPERATE

Put microgravity to work.

Carry the process into an orbital environment with different conditions from those on the ground.

03 / RETURN

Close the loop.

Plan the journey back with Thor so the mission connects to its next step on Earth.
