Texas A&M University has developed TAMU-SPIRIT, an orbital research platform for the International Space Station (ISS), in collaboration with Aegis Aerospace. This platform will enable Texas A&M System researchers to conduct experiments in low-Earth orbit, utilizing the Express Logistics Carrier 3.

TAMU-SPIRIT supports diverse projects, including advanced materials manufacturing and robotics testing. The first mission, TAMU-SPIRIT-1, will feature experiments such as assessing biopolymer durability, testing robotics components, and evaluating grape seeds in space. More missions and proposal opportunities are anticipated.
