Microgravity Research

 

The microgravity research involves many areas such as biological, biochemical, microbiological, opto-physical, physical, material sciences,  fluid sciences, geology, plasma physics, biotechnology, nanotechnology and chemical-combustional field, etc...


We make use, for our experiments, of many opportunities and platforms made ​​available by international organizations.
some examples are placed below:

ISS -
International space station

Internal Payloads

Full commercial spacelab on the ISS including: NanoLab Platforms,Platform-3, Centrifuge, Plate Reader, Microscope and MixStix.

 

Smallsat Deployment

Small CubeSat form factor to full payload volume deployment from the ISS.

 

External Platform

Access to the extreme environment of space for earth and deep space observation.

 

Beyond the ISS

Cost-efficient solutions for low-earth orbit.

 

All these opportunities are provided by Nanoracks

ESA
educational program

REXUS programme - Sounding Rocket

Rocket platform for testing experiments in near 0G environment

 

BEXUS programme - Stratospheric Balloon

opportunities for experiments to be flown on stratospheric balloons

 

Fly Yor Thesis Programme - Parabolic fly

Use of a parabolic fly to obtain 0G environment

 

Drop Your Thesis! Programme - Drop Tower

 

Spin Your Thesis Programme - Centrifuge

experiments in 1 up to 20G

 

 

Current Project: CROSSFIRE experiment

Is an experiment to study the stability and dynamics of the flame in microgravity and documenting the "cool flames" for engine optimization. it makes use of the platform REXUS sounding rocket to operate. [link]
