This week in Bordeaux, the National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) launched a microgravity research campaign, offering scientists worldwide the opportunity to conduct experiments in weightlessness.
These experiments take place during parabolic flights aboard a specially equipped Airbus, allowing simulation of near-weightless conditions without sending equipment into space, reported France 24.
Reporters James André and Sylvain Rousseau accompanied the scientists onboard to cover this initiative that facilitates microgravity research.
