Kentucky Space LLC has begun a line of research and development into Exomedicine, defined as the study of disease mitigation and health enhancement in space under microgravity conditions. This initiative will be supported by an interdisciplinary team of top scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, and through a joint venture with NanoRacks LLC based in Houston.

Kentucky Space is an independent non-profit enterprise involving a consortium of universities and public and private organizations to design and lead innovative projects in entrepreneurial space through near space, sub-orbital and orbital missions, and through work on the International Space Station. Initial Kentucky Space experiments on the International Space Station will begin with the March 14, 2010 Shuttle mission to the station.
