How does a spinning top or certain liquids behave in microgravity? This is what school students will find out during this year's „Drop Tower Project for School Students“.

A great day for ZARM: The contract for the International Astronautical Congress 2018 in Bremen has been signed between IAF President Jean-Yves Le Gall and ZARM.

The Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) at the University of Bremen will host the European CanSat competition initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA). Due to ZARM’s commitment to STEM activities in general as well...

ZARM cordially invites the general public to a lecture on the fascinating topic of cosmology. In his talk Prof. Jochen Lisk will explain current research efforts to resolve the baffling phenomena of dark energy and the acceleration of the universe...

With the successful launch of MAIUS 1 on Jan 23, 2017, from ESRANGE in northern Sweden, German scientists accomplished a pioneering mission in the field of fundamental physics. Two ZARM physicists were on site when the first BEC was...

For the fourth time German school students will get the chance to fly their own mini-satellites on a rocket.

ZARM scientists perform experiments with cryogenic hydrogen at the Bremen Drop Tower. It is their aim to investigate the thermal influences of space environment on the behaviour of cryogenic propellants.

On 16 November 2016 the AS agreeed to establish the new Master's programs „Space Sciences and Technologies“ and „Space Engineering“ which are scheduled to begin in the winter term 2017/2018.

Update: ZARM scientists successfully took advantage of NASA's resupply mission to the ISS to ignite a large-scale fire inside an empty Cygnus spacecraft. The experiment aims at understanding the growth and spread of fire in microgravity which is...
