Nanosatellite in the altered gravity of parabolic flight
Nanosatellite in the altered gravity of parabolic flight
Launching satellites into their target orbit by controlled separation from their launch vehicle is a technical challenge. Engineers from the Aerospace Institute in Berlin, in collaboration with scientists from the Technical University of Berlin (Technische Universität Berlin) are testing new separation mechanisms for nanosatellites under altered gravity conditions on this parabolic flight.
