Teams selected for ‘Fly Your Thesis!’ 2010 microgravity programme
18 January 2010
Following the debut of ESA’s ‘Fly Your Thesis!’ programme in 2009, four teams of university students have been selected to conduct their microgravity experiments during a second series of parabolic flights aboard an aircraft.
The teams, made up of students from five ESA Member States, were chosen from 12 teams whose proposals were short-listed in September 2009.
During the final selection phase, all of the teams wrote a detailed scientific proposal and a technical proposal. They also had to give an oral presentation during a workshop held at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, in early December.
Shortly after, a review board comprising experts from ESA’s Education Office, ESA’s Directorate of Human Spaceflight and the European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA), assisted by Novespace engineers, selected the four teams to be offered flights.
