SMAE I: A BRAZILIAN UNDERGRADUATE MICROGRAVITY TOOL

摘要

The Brazilian Space Agency has a program called " Microgravity Project" which the objective is to promote studies in the microgravity area. As a ISS project participant, Brazilian experiments can be flying in the next years. As a preparation phase for the experiments it is planned a number of sub-orbital flights in the Brazilian rockets. In 2001 a call of projects for a sub-orbital flight was put. This flight was going to be with a Brazilian motor and a microgravity platform from German Space Agency, DLR.
