Zurich space hub adds pathway to ISS and Starlab research

The Center for Space and Aviation Switzerland and Liechtenstein is creating a pathway for researchers, startups and companies to move experiments from ground development and parabolic flights toward orbital research.

The initiative, centered on Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich and Dübendorf airfield, includes access to three competitively selected experiments with free ISS research opportunities. Partnerships with NLR, Novespace, Starlab and Space Florida are intended to connect Swiss development with flight, launch and orbital infrastructure.

The program is also designed to support research aboard Starlab after the ISS retires, with CSA and the Zurich Innovation Park Foundation planning to develop the Dübendorf system through 2030.
