Esa 31st Parabolic Flight Campaign
Esa Parabolic Flight Campaign In parabolic flight, the aircraft is put into a specially shaped trajectory that provides free fall, or weightlessness. this weightless experience, other than the duration, is exactly that experienced by astronauts on orbital missions. A plane following a parabolic trajectory (like a stone thrown into the air) is in the state of free fall. the passengers and everything inside the plane experience the state of weightlessness as long as the plane follows the parabolic trajectory.
Esa Parabolic Flight Campaign This paper presents the short duration microgravity research programme of esa. the experiments conducted during these campaigns are summarized, and the different airplanes used by esa are shortly presented. the technical capabilities of the airbus a300 ‘zero g’ are addressed. Standard parabolic flight campaigns for scientific investigations organized by novespace consist of three flights of 31 parabolas over three days. up to forty or so researchers may perform some fifteen on board experiments on this type of mission. An entire scientific parabolic flight campaign usually consists of three individual parabolic flights with 31 respective parabolas in sequence (93 parabolas in total). For these purposes, esa has organized since 1984 in the frame of its microgravity programme thirty parabolic flight campaigns. on each campaign, esa invites journalists to report to.

Neil melville, esa parabolic flight coordinator, explains everything you can expect once your experiment is successfully selected for an esa parabolic flight campaign, guiding you. This paper introduces the experimental objectives of parabolic flights, the parabolic flight manoeuvres, the esa parabolic flight campaigns, the safety and medical aspects, the organisation of esa campaigns, and some physical science experiments conducted dur ing the last esa campaigns. This document describes in detail the roles and responsibilities of all the participants in the parabolic flight campaigns. this agreement or updated version thereof, must also be signed in order to participate in the campaign. Parabolic flights are ideal for studies requiring crew interaction, real time observation, and rapid prototyping. esa organises parabolic flight campaigns twice per year (spring and autumn) using the airbus a310 zero g, operated by novespace from bordeaux mérignac airport.
