Overview
Microgravity experiment on RINA parabolic flight - November 2024
Zero-G Experiment
In November 2024, DOPE Aerospace students had the unique opportunity to conduct a scientific experiment in microgravity conditions during a parabolic flight offered by RINA.
On February 10, 2025, a conference dedicated to presenting the experiment, collected data, and obtained results was held at the University of Genoa Physics Faculty. The event represented a moment of high scientific outreach where students shared the unique experience of experimenting in zero gravity.

Technical Specs
Parabolic Flight
Parabolic flight is a technique that simulates microgravity conditions for brief periods (20-30 seconds) through specific aircraft maneuvers.
Applications
Microgravity experiments are fundamental for research in physics, biology, materials science, and for space mission preparation.
