Completely weightless? Discover the Drop Tower and the GraviTower
Have you ever experienced weightlessness? At the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM), our experiments are in a state of weightlessness all the time– and they don’t even have to go into space to achieve it! During a tour of ZARM, we’d like to explain how and why we conduct research in microgravity, and what role the Bremen Drop Tower and the GraviTower play in this. We’ll take a close look at one of our experiments and you might even get to handle a sample or two!
Prof. Dr. Eva Hackmann is guiding us through ZARM.
Duration approx. 75 min. A visit to the top of the Drop Tower is not possible on this tour.
