The students were taken on a five-parabola familiarisation flight

6th Student Parabolic Flight Campaign 16-31 July 2003 - the students prepare for a five-parabola familiarisation flight. Being on board a parabolic flight brings all kinds of new sensations, quite unlike anything experienced on Earth. To help the students concentrate on their experiments during the main campaign flights, they also fly on a shorter five-parabola familiarisation flight. Throughout this flight the students are safely buckled into their seats in the front cabin area.
