Human limb position sense measured by repositioning during changes of gravity in parabolic flight [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOur sense of limb position is believed to be signalled by muscle spindles. To confirm this, we previously sought evidence for spindles contributing to each of three different methods of measuring position sense.

Perception of Egocentric Distance during Gravitational Changes in Parabolic Flight. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We explored the effect of gravity on the perceived representation of the absolute distance of objects to the observers within the range from 1.5-6 m. Experiments were performed on board the CNES Airbus Zero-G during parabolic flights eliciting repeated ...

Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity [PDF]
Advanced ScienceUltralight graphene aerogels can convert light into mechanical work, yet their performance under reduced gravity remains largely unquantified. We investigated light‐driven motion of macroscopic porous graphene networks during the 86th parabolic flight ...

Perception of Affordance during Short-Term Exposure to Weightlessness in Parabolic Flight. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We investigated the role of the visual eye-height (VEH) in the perception of affordance during short-term exposure to weightlessness. Sixteen participants were tested during parabolic flight (0g) and on the ground (1g).

Acceleration profiles and processing methods for parabolic flight. [PDF]
NPJ Microgravity, 2018 AbstractParabolic flights provide cost-effective, time-limited access to “weightless” or reduced gravity conditions, facilitating research and validation activities that complement infrequent and costly access to space. Although parabolic flights have been conducted for decades, reference acceleration profiles and processing methods are not widely ...
