'Zero-G' Airbus A300 for parabolic flights

Fly Your Thesis! - An Astronaut Experience

The Fly Your Thesis! programme gives university students the possibility to fly their scientific experiment in microgravity, as part of their Masters thesis, PhD thesis or research programme, in microgravity by participating in a series of parabolic flights.

These parabolic flights take place on the Airbus A300 Zero-G operated and maintained by Novespace from Bordeaux, France.

Later this year, ESA's Education Office will launch a complementary call for opportunities on other gravity research platforms, such as Drop Towers and Centrifuges.
