ADVANCED MATERIALS MADE IN SPACE
THE VISION
Growing perfect crystals requires an environment Earth cannot provide.
Levion Materials (currently under incorporation) is being established as an independent company dedicated to crystal growth in true microgravity — achievable only in space.
THE MISSION
Many modern technologies rely on crystals – from electronics to lasers to sensors to energy systems.
The performance of these technologies depends on how perfect the crystal is.

Energy & Quantum Technologies THE PROBLEM
On Earth, gravity constantly acts on molten materials during crystal growth.
This leads to:
Even in the best laboratories, gravity cannot be switched off.
THE SOLUTION
In microgravity, materials behave differently:
Crystals can form in a way that is impossible on Earth.
Imagine cooking soup in a pot. On Earth, hot liquid rises, cool liquid sinks, ingredients drift, and every change in temperature restirs the pot. The same forces shape molten material during crystal growth — and they cannot be switched off in a lab. In orbit, those forces vanish. The soup stays still. Heat moves through it without convection. Crystals can form without the turbulence that defines them on Earth.
TRACTION
Levion’s first in-space materials mission, developed in the ESA Business Space Generation Network (BSGN) accelerator.
Mission #01 prepares the validation flight for Levion’s microgravity crystal growth process.
TRUE MICROGRAVITY ONLY EXISTS IN SPACE
Drop towers, parabolic flights, sounding rockets, or simulations can reduce gravity — but only for seconds.
Only in orbit can microgravity be sustained for days, weeks, or longer.
Space is not a shortcut. It is a requirement.
