    A great microgravity experience!

    This morning, 23 October, the three student teams arrived at the Novespace facilities to prepare their samples and test subjects. The students put on their flight suits, some took motion sickness medication, and then boarded the Zero-G airplane. With 8 "Fly Your Thesis!" team members on board, the flight and the three experiments went nominally with the teams retrieving all of the expected data as well as enjoying their microgravity experience!
