The peaceful use of space flight systems for research and
technological devel opments in the context of promoting European
and international cooperation represents the essential motivation
for the programmes of the European Space Agency (ESA). One of ESA's
programmes is dedicated to microgravity research, which is now an
established discipline in Europe, with a dedicated group of
scientists participating. The Challenger disaster has resulted in a
serious dis continuity of flight opportunities in the next few
years but the forthcoming International Space Station, new
launchers and reentry vehicles are expected to provide ample
opportunities for microgravity research in the long term. Meanwhile
parabolic aircraft flights, sounding rockets as well as the delayed
Shuttle-dependent missions, Spacelab D-2, the IML-missions and
EURECA I, will be employed to keep microgravity experimenters
reasonably busy in the interim period. To prepare the ground for
these activities, both regarding research and experiment
facilities, an in-depth analysis of the state of the art is an
essential requirement at this time. Such an analysis is presented
in this volume. It ad dresses all of the topics that have been
identified to be of relevance. Besides a presentation of the
fundamental aspects justifying microgravity research, the results
of experiments already performed are reviewed and recommendations
for future activities are made. Close to fifty European scientists
have cooper ated in the preparation of this volume and their
dedicated and concerted effort is greatly appreciated."
