Within the last four years the Nobel Prize was awarded to gravitational physics three times - a proof of the great impact of this field of research.

Lift off for the Antares rocket on October 3, 2020. Also on board: an experiment on fire safety in human space flight designed by ZARM.

On September 28, 1990, 30 years ago, the official first launch took place in the Bremen Drop Tower.

Starting now, school students can apply for this year's German CanSat Explorer competition.

Since the end of April, ZARM has had animal offspring again: a pair of peregrine falcons has moved into the nesting box of the drop tower and is raising two healthy offspring there.

Uneven blood flow occurs more often than fluid dynamics theory suggests. An international research team has now proven this theoretically and experimentally. Among them was ZARM scientist Duo Xu.

During her visit to ZARM, Senator of Science and Ports Claudia Schilling was introduced to the drop tower and the new GTB Pro - which is currently still under construction.

Today artist Oliver Chanarin used ZARM's microgravity lab to conduct a historic art experiment.

For two years, geophysicist Christiane Heinicke worked on developing a habitat for living and working outside the Earth. Now two science teams have tested the first mock-up: the laboratory module.
