Existing capabilities include brightfield and fluorescence microscopy, fluidics management in transit or orbit, and live science return for further analysis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Space Tango was also recently awarded a NASA SBIR Ignite contract in December 2023 to support the development of a robotic laboratory hood known as TangoBox. With over $60M through NASA and additional grant programming, Space Tango continues to serve as a leading provider for applications on Earth, in low-Earth orbit, and now in lunar orbit and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpace Tango is now growing from platform agnostic to orbit agnostic. &nbsp;I am excited that we will help unearth answers in a new space, and inspire the Artemis generation while we do it,\u201d said Sonty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Space Tango, one of the leaders in microgravity hardware, software, and automation proudly announced its award of approximately $5 million to support the Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) division within the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) for the historic Artemis II mission.
