The Airbus A310 Zero-G is ready for the 46th DLR parabolic flight campaign
The German Space Agency at DLR's 46th parabolic flight campaign is taking place from 11 to 22 May 2026 in Bordeaux, France. During the campaign, eight experiments from German research institutions are being conducted on board. A typical campaign consists of three flight days, each lasting approximately four hours, during which 31 parabolas are flown. Each parabola provides approximately 22 seconds of microgravity, resulting in a total of approximately 35 minutes of microgravity per campaign – alternating with normal and nearly double Earth's gravity – which researchers can exploit for their experiments. Up to 40 scientists can participate in a single flight.
