If youââ¬â¢re looking for 8.4 fluid ounces of patent pending Antimatter, check in with Microgravity Enterprises, Inc. (MEI) of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
MEI was founded in 2006 and is now cranking out drinkable products produced from ingredients that have flown in space courtesy of suborbital rockets.
Antimatter is an energy drink using ââ¬Åspaceflight-enriched vitamin power complexââ¬Â. Another product is purified water with spaceflight-enriched electrolytes. The drinks are making a big splash here at this weekââ¬â¢s Small Satellite conference being held in Logan, Utah.
An additional MEI beverage offering is Cometââ¬â¢s Tail Amber Ale using yeast that flew into space. It was premiered earlier this month at a popular Albuquerque brewery.
MEI has announced an ACCESS for Education program too, donating payload space on every MEI launch. Payload space will be dedicated to a full spectrum of activities ranging from K-12 inspirational experimentsââ¬Â¦to next generation commercial space demonstration payloads developed by U.S. universities, said Jeff Ganley, MEIââ¬â¢s Chief Operations Officer.
A second phase of MEI product development ââ¬â churning out made-in-space pharmaceuticals to space food ââ¬â involves orbital production runs starting in 2010, Ganley said.
