About
SPmg is a 2U system capable of performing 4 experiments, equipped with a 600-microliter stirred reactor, a fluorescence microscope, and a visible-light spectrometer. It is a closed system that stores waste in a volume-saving manner. One unit concluded an ISS tour, and a second unit has operated as a free-orbit satellite payload for over two years.
