Meet the experts

At ZARM you can find experts for questions concerning fluid mechanics, space sciences and technologies, and experiments under microgravity conditions - ranging from engineers to physicists, mathematicians and IT specialists.
The ZARM concept

ZARM strives to set new standards - in engineering and science as well as in social responsibility. Diverse and multidisciplinary teams are our key factors for sustained technological and scientific progress.
Microgravity at its best

ZARM's most prominent facility is the Drop Tower Bremen providing 9.3 seconds of weightlessness - more than any other earthbound laboratory worldwide.
