Microgravity testing services are available for external users.  The microgravity facility can accommodate one-off experiments or extended test programs.  It may be used as a stand-alone microgravity capability or in conjunction with additional work in longer duration microgravity facilities available elsewhere.  Facility staff will assist with the integration of your apparatus with drop tower equipment, and will operate the microgravity facility.  Some experimental support equipment is available, as described in the experiment platform and drag shield section.  All experiments will be accepted for use in the microgravity facility, as long as they meet minimum safety and structural requirements.

Prices are dependent on the length of the test program, the nature of the experiment and the amount of integration work required, but this facility offers extremely economical access to a reduced-gravity environment.  For more information about microgravity testing services, please contact us.
