| | | | | | | European User Guide to Low-Gravity Platforms
The European Users Guide to Low Gravity Platforms provides an overview of the five low gravity platforms sponsored by ESA, including details of how they are made available to people wishing to use them for either scientific, educational or commercial purposes.
The five platforms covered by this Guide are:
- Drop tower
- Parabolic flights
- Sounding rockets
- Foton retrievable capsules
- International Space Station (ISS)
The Guide does not seek to lay down rules, but as its name suggests, simply offers guidance to understand whether or not the capabilities and resources provided by each of the five platforms meet the Users' requirements.
The Guide has been written with the intention of satisfying three groups:
- The general public
- Potential users of ESA sponsored low gravity platforms
- Current/experienced users of ESA sponsored low gravity platforms
