    • Description

      An experiment on an ESA parabolic flight. During the three-hour flight, an Airbus A300 aircraft and its occupants undergoes 30 parabolas. Each parabola lasts about a minute, of which the microgravity phase lasts around 20 seconds.

      ESA performs parabolic flights to test equipment, conduct research and study how our bodies react to weightlessness.
