ABOUT ZAVITY

We're building the way back from space.

Zavity is an aerospace company in Bengaluru, India. We're building Gravion, a capsule designed to return experiments from orbit, so research done in space can be put to work on Earth.

OUR STORY

Built around the experiment.

Zavity began with a gap we wanted to close: microgravity offers new possibilities for research, but accessing them can mean taking on the complex challenge of building a satellite. We believe researchers should spend their time and engineering effort developing their experiments. That’s why we’re building Gravion to take on the engineering of the space platform and its return, so researchers can focus on the work they came to do.

HOW WE WORK

01

Test before we claim.

We share results when we have them, not before.

02

Small and dedicated.

Gravion is built for small experiments that need their own ride home.

03

Designed in India.

Designed around India's launch options.

05 — THE PEOPLE

Built by aerospace engineers and builders.
