How scientists study the universe in moments of weightlessness
In short: Discover how researchers use parabolic flights to conduct high-level science in altered gravity. This session explores the inaugural scientific campaign for a newly outfitted Airbus A310 aircraft, revealing the collaborative effort behind orbital-simulated research.
The video features experts from the European Space Agency (ESA), France’s CNES, and the DLR German Aerospace Center discussing scientific research conducted on parabolic flights. Specifically, it highlights the inaugural campaign held in Bordeaux, France, involving a specialized Airbus A310 aircraft.
Participants including Dr. Ulrike Friedrich, Sebastien Rouquette, and Franck Ditengou explain the mechanics of conducting experiments in altered gravity. This collaboration between Novespace's primary partners allows for unique scientific insights that are difficult to replicate under standard Earth gravity.
