22 April 2009: ESA’s Education Office is offering European students the flights of a lifetime with the 2010 call for proposals for the “Fly your Thesis! – An Astronaut Experience” programme.
This exciting programme enables university students to fly their experiments in microgravity by participating in a series of parabolic flights on the Airbus A300 Zero-G aircraft.
“Fly your Thesis!” requires each team of students to design a scientific experiment to be performed in microgravity, as part of their Master's or PhD thesis or research programme. Teams should register on ESA Education Office's Projects Portal and upload their outline proposals using the letter of intent template, by 22 June 2009. Proposals by teams from ESA's Cooperating States are also encouraged.
