Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Zero Gravity Research Facility (ZGF) is operated by the Space Experiments Division of the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center (GRC) for investigators sponsored by the Microgravity Science and Applications Division of NASA Headquarters. This unique facility has been utilized by scientists and engineers for reduced gravity experimentation since 1966. The ZGF has provided fundamental scientific information, has been used as an important test facility in the space flight hardware design, development, and test process, and has also been a valuable source of data in the flight experiment definition process. The purpose of this document is to provide information and guidance to prospective researchers regarding the design, buildup, and testing of microgravity experiments.Thompson, Dennis M.Glenn Research CenterMICROGRAVITY; WEIGHTLESSNESS; DROP TOWERS; LOW GRAVITY MANUFACTURING; RESEARCH FACILITIES; TEST FACILITIES; HARDWARE; COMPUTER SYSTEMS DESIGN
