Space Rider is a versatile uncrewed robotic laboratory about the size of two minivans. After launch on the Vega-C rocket it could stay in low orbit for at least two months.
Experiments inside its cargo bay will allow technology demonstration and benefit research in pharmaceutics, biomedicine, biology and physical science.
