American-French biotech firm building AI-driven autonomous bio-farming platforms and space biofarming units for controlled cultivation of high-value plants.
Interstellar Lab is an American-French biotech company that designs, builds, and operates advanced bio-farming platforms combining hardware, artificial intelligence, and bioscience. Its systems grow plants in precisely controlled environments to produce metabolites and bioactive compounds with high efficiency, targeting customers in beauty, fragrance, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and agriculture markets, as well as space and life sciences research.
The company's product line centres on BioPods and BioCapsules, AI-powered autonomous greenhouse systems and biofarming units designed for the controlled cultivation of high-value plants in molecular and biofarming applications. Both report near-zero water and pesticide use. A third line of work covers space biofarming units, developed with space agencies and private companies to advance life science research in microgravity and support long-duration space missions - forming, in the company's account, the basis for future biofactories beyond Earth.
Technical work spans controlled environment agriculture, autonomous greenhouse systems, plant biology and metabolite production, hardware engineering, and machine learning. The stated output is sustainable, traceable, high-quality natural ingredients with minimised environmental impact, alongside transparency in ingredient sourcing.
Operations and collaborations span the United States, France, and low Earth orbit. The company describes an interdisciplinary team combining hardware, AI, and bioscience, and frames its mission as preserving life on Earth while expanding it into space.
