Hydro4M2 space mission update🚀 On 23 June 2025, Hydromars launched its Hydro4M2 payload aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 (Transporter-14 mission) from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Carried by The Exploration Company's Nyx capsule, Hydro4M2 was among 26 payloads inside the capsule. Nyx performed nominally in orbit, powering payloads, maintaining stability after separation from Falcon 9, and successfully re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Unfortunately, a parachute failure during descent led to a crash in the Pacific Ocean on 24 June, resulting in the loss of all onboard payloads, including Hydro4M2. Although no mission data could be retrieved, the launch marked a significant milestone for Hydromars, validating key aspects of its rapid (<15-month) development process and offering valuable insights into the technical and operational demands of space deployment. We now shift focus to building a subscale version of our full-scale system, with orbital demonstration flights planned for 2026-2027. #Hydromars #Hydro4M2 #Nyx #Transporter14 #NewSpace #waterinspace

Abhilash Vakkada Ramachandran, Ph.D. presented Hydromars' work at the 4th International Workshop on Membrane Distillation and Innovating Membrane Operations in Desalination and Water Reuse 2025 (CNR-ITM) under the theme: "Advancing sustainable life support systems through integrated water and nutrient recovery technologies." He shared our development of water recovery systems designed for space missions, focusing on reliability and efficiency in closed-loop operation. Dr. Ramachandran also described how the same core process is being applied on Earth, by our sister company in Odisha, India, to provide arsenic-free drinking water to local communities. We're grateful for the opportunity to present our work and connect with others working on practical water and nutrient recovery solutions. #Hydromars #CETRARO2025 #WaterRecovery #SustainableTech #LifeSupportSystems

🌍 ESA BIC Network Success Story! We love seeing what #startups across the ESA BIC network are achieving, and this one’s making waves in sustainable space exploration. Hydromars, an ESA BIC Sweden alumnus, is preparing to launch #Hydro4M2, a compact water recovery payload, aboard the Nyx orbital vehicle (#Falcon9) in June 2025.🫧 👉 Their goal? Total water recovery and nutrient reuse in space habitats, a critical step toward sustainable life support systems. Hydromars developed the technology with support from ESA BIC Sweden, ESA engineers, and the Payload Masters programme. Originally created for the semiconductor industry, their tech now promises to transform closed-loop water systems in space.

Since 2020, Hydromars, an ESA Business Incubation Centre (BIC) alumnus, has been pioneering circular solutions for water recovery in space habitats. With the invaluable support of ESA BIC Sweden and the ESA Payload Masters program, Hydromars is set to test its first space-adapted equipment, Hydro4M2, aboard the Nyx vehicle on Falcon 9 in June 2025. Hydromars' CEO and Co-founder, Shorena Tsindeliani, together with Hydro4M2 project lead Arjun Monga, emphasise the importance of sustainable water management in space and innovation in extraterrestrial water recovery system. Hydromars has also received a grant from the Swedish National Space Agency (Rymdstyrelsen) to advance its latest initiative, the SUSTAIN project, focusing on advanced water purification and nutrient recovery for commercial space stations.

Turning urine into water and nutrients for space exploration 🧑🚀 ♻️ 💧 As part of the SUSTAIN project, funded by the Rymdstyrelsen, we have kicked off a new series of tests with SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences focused on water and nutrient recovery from urine, a key step toward sustainable life support systems for long-duration space missions  🛰️. To strengthen our ongoing R&D, we have moved into Novum Labs🧪🏢, where our office and laboratory are now just a few meters apart, streamlining collaboration and accelerating development 💡. More updates are coming soon as we continue to push the boundaries of resource recovery in space 🚀. #SUSTAIN #SpaceTech #LifeSupport #CircularSystems #SpaceExploration #DeepSpace #WaterRecovery #NutrientRecovery #BioregenerativeLifeSupport

Hydro4M2 handover 🚀   On December 13, the Hydro4M2 space payload was successfully delivered to The Exploration Company’s facility for integration into the Nyx capsule as part of Mission Possible. This achievement marks a significant milestone in Hydromars mission to advance water purification technologies for sustainable space exploration. ♻️ 🚀   Hydro4M2 is Hydromars first orbital demonstration payload, serving as a scaled-down prototype designed to validate core technology under the challenging conditions of microgravity. Once aboard the Nyx capsule, Hydro4M2 will undergo testing in a space environment, showcasing its potential to facilitate efficient water recovery💧and purification. 🛰️   During the Mission Possible launch, scheduled for mid-2025 from a Falcon 9 rocket 🚀, Hydro4M2 will capture and analyse critical metrics related to purification and recovery process ♻️ for a chosen feed, including thermal profiles, pressure variations, and fluid dynamics in microgravity. These insights, among others, will inform the development of Hydromars full-scale water recovery system, a crucial step in supporting humanity's long-term presence in space. 🌍👨🚀   We extend our heartfelt gratitude to European Space Agency - ESA, ESA Commercialisation Gateway, The Exploration Company, ESA BIC Sweden and each and every person who have contributed to this project. #SpaceExploration #WaterRecovery #Sustainability #Innovation #Hydromars #MissionPossible
