Yves Malmejac, Harold John Walter · 34th Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit · 1996
A summary of ESA's Microgravity Research Programme in Physical Sciences is presented, including past, present and future flight opportunities as well as the flight experiment facilities presently available and under development. Recommendations on research priorities by ESA's Microgravity Advisory Committee are summarized. The European Low-Gravity Research Association (ELGRA), an independent forum of European scientists interested in microgravity research, has organised a further evaluation by peers of the highest international standing. The results of this evaluation are also presented.
