The SATED Space System
Our vision is for exploration teams to choose what they eat, experience the joy of sharing a meal, and have the creative agency to cook a comforting recipe anywhere in the cosmos.
Previously considered impossible, the SATED Space system is the first and only collection of galley technologies that operate seamlessly in zero-gravity, lunar, Mars, and Earth environments, keeping workstations organized and safe.
Our brightest exploration teams, navigating the universe’s most challenging problems in the most demanding environments, deserve delicious food that can be prepared spontaneously the moment a craving strikes or a celebration occurs.
SATED® Space Oven
Issued Patents – “Artificial Gravity Heating Device" US 11,918,142 B2, US 12,171,367 B2 and cont. US20240206674A1
The groundbreaking SATED cooking appliance replicates gravity by spinning its cooking component. Upon injecting ingredients into the hollow cylinder, centrifugal force presses them against the precision-heated inner surface, allowing them to be safely cooked through heat conduction. The system enables Earth-cooking-like functions, such as boiling, steaming, baking, frying, dehydration, and even distillation in microgravity.
Features and highlights:
Cooks a wide variety of foods with complex textures, caramelization, browning, and flavors unattainable in today's prepackaged backpacking-style space food options.
Intrinsically fire- and smoke-safe, this appliance achieves previously impossible cooking techniques, such as frying, boiling, simmering, baking, mixing, layering, weighing, and toasting, unlocking culinary creativity.
Because heat transfer is conductive, the exact processing temperature of the cooking cylinder contents is precisely controlled.
Rotational speed can induce centrifugal forces up to 50 Earth gravities to spread ingredients smoothly, then be adjusted down to just a few gravities to cook breads and cakes whose texture requires rising.
Enables targeted nutrition to maximize the health and wellness of every crew member.
Purpose-focused design indicates pasteurization, allowing the consumption of in-situ farmed ingredients, complete control over cooking, and easy cleanup with a damp towel.
Efficient and lightweight technology cooks an average of 350 grams of food at 70% thermal efficiency using only 120 watt-hours of electrical energy.
SATED® Downdraft Workstation
Issued Patents – Workstation for Microgravity Environments US 2024/0067367
A quiet, high-speed downward airflow captures crumbs and particulates during food preparation and dining. The table draws floating material down to the surface of the porous tabletop, making it easy to clean with a hand vacuum.
Microgravity pelvic stability saddles, located on either side of the table, replace traditional foot loops, providing secure support and enabling the precise two-handed dexterity required for tasks such as cooking, repairs, medical procedures, and scientific work in microgravity conditions.
Features and highlights:
Enables safe preparation and consumption of textured, crumb-producing foods in zero or low gravity, preventing floating debris that could damage equipment or harm crew members.
Facilitates social dining by replicating a traditional kitchen table, with a proximity that encourages crew interaction, boosting morale and teamwork.
A patented surface suction feature, similar to the feeling of magnetic attraction, keeps objects on the surface and organizes materials without the use of adhesives, maintaining a clean and tidy work environment.
Establishes a safe and stable platform for everything from culinary creation to card games, essential for the success of long-duration missions.
The sophisticated acoustic design meets space station noise limits—similar to OSHA standards—creating a quiet, comfortable, and stress-free environment for users.
SATED® In-Draft Cupboard
Issued Patents – Workstation for Microgravity Environments US 2024/0067367 with Cubby CIP pending
In microgravity, organizing and preventing small objects from floating away has traditionally required items to be stored in a closed bag or secured with Velcro or tape. Performing routine tasks in an Earth-style environment, such as cooking, conducting science experiments, and repairing equipment, requires spatial organization and immediate access to a multitude of small objects. Managing objects for doing these tasks is relatively impossible in space — until now.
SATED's in-draft cupboard pulls air in through its opening and out through a filter in its back wall. The airflow gently draws objects in and stacks them against the back wall. Adjustable compartments are segmented into parallel chambers, where the transparent sidewalls make it easy to locate and sort a multitude of small objects within each chamber. Individual objects, sorted into the task-designated chamber, are immediately accessible.
Features and highlights:
Gravity organizes our lives on Earth by allowing objects to stay put on horizontal surfaces. In-draft technology provides convenient access to a multitude of objects in microgravity, much like a well-organized kitchen, where everything has its place and every item is easily accessible.
Supports a regular cadence of life by facilitating sorting, quick access, and efficient, uncluttered use of a wide variety of items within the confines of a spacecraft.
Aids unplanned emergency response to medical or other situations by eliminating the need for pre-staging every item, preventing aspiration of loose materials, maintaining a clean environment, and minimizing the spread of harmful materials.
After a task is completed and materials returned, closing the screened lid shuts off the power to conserve energy.
