Reduced-gravity testing
Prototype → proof
Test payloads and technologies in relevant environments before the mission depends on them. Each parabola gives 20 seconds of reduced gravity.

The figures in the specification and the results below. Placeholder
- Parabolas
- 30 on one flight day
- Reduced gravity
- 20 seconds a parabola, 0.01 g or less
- Rack space
- Up to 600 × 400 × 400 mm, 40 kg
- Power
- 28 V DC, 10 A, and 230 V AC, 5 A
- Data

Results
We count every parabola we fly and every parabola that falls outside the limit.
| Year | Flight days | Parabolas flown | Out of limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 3 | 90 | 4 |
| 2026 | 4 | 122 | 2 |
