Hudson Space Systems

Founded in August 2019, Hudson Space Systems is an aerospace company looking to make microgravity services more accessible. The company was founded by four Stevens Institute of Technology graduate students, all with a deep enthusiasm for space, who aim to provide microgravity services for researchers at universities, companies, and governments.

Looking ahead, Hudson Space Systems wants to create affordable access to a launch environment that enables customers to flexibly perform microgravity research based on whatever their requirements may be.
