Suborbital Stowaways

摘要

The era of commercial sub-orbital research may finally be upon us. For years, a core group of scientists, from fields ranging from medicine to fluid mechanics, have advocated for flying experiments on the new generation of suborbital vehicles under development by companies such as Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, arguing they offer a low-cost, frequent way of flying experiments that needed several minutes of microgravity or access to the space environment.
