Article Images Researchers fly away from gravity on the 35th ESA Parabolic Flight Campaign   Since 1997, the Airbus A300 Zero-g aircraft - the world's largest for parabolic flights - has been used by ESA, CNES, DLR and industrial customers to provide repeated microgravity periods of up to 20 seconds for research purposes. It is managed by Novespace, a subsidiary of CNES. ESA runs typically two parabolic campaigns annually. Scientists are regularly invited to submit experiment proposals for review and selection by peers.   Research in 0g Bubbles in blood     Testing for space     Students during the second week of the flight campaign, onboard the A-300, during zero-gravity.
