No force â including gravity â could hold a team of NASA researchers down in their quest for a scientific breakthrough to benefit life on Earth and in space.
Scientists from Marshall Space Flight Center completed two parabolic flights April 28-29 to test modifications to a payload called the ring-sheared drop.
âThis demonstration proved that the modified hardware is capable of deploying and pinning each of the protein solutions that will be used in an experiment using the ring-sheared drop hardware on the International Space Station,â Louise Strutzenberg, co-investigator on the ring-sheared drop parabolic re-flight experiment, said. âThe lessons learned will prepare us to take the next steps before resuming testing on the space station.â

Cuppa? Lorraine rang in her 60th birthday in unique style as she jetted to Florida to try her hand at astronaut training
The TV legend revealed she had always been obsessed with space after her father bought her a telescope and she watched the moon landing aged 10.
In light of her passion, Lorraine delightedly revealed she flew to the US to try her hand on the ominously named Vomit Comet, where she experienced zero gravity and was seen to pour a cup of tea while floating in the air.
It s a once in a lifetime commercial flight opportunity offered by the Zero Gravity Corporation. Space is no longer, and certainly weightless, is no longer a third-hand experience, said Ray Cronise, co-founder of ZERO-G.
The space entertainment and tourism company is making space adventure available to anyone at a reasonable price. Because having space is something that can be a commercial endeavor that everyone can enjoy, Cronise said. Not just creating hero astronauts; not just the elite people that get to go, but actually everybody be able to go.
