On September 5, 2011, the European Space Agency proudly announced its 'Spin Your Thesis!' 2012 programme. Through this programme, several teams of university students will be given the opportunity to carry out experiments in hypergravity using the Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) in ESTEC, the Netherlands. The ‘Spin Your Thesis!’ programme gives university students the opportunity to perform a scientific or technology experiment which is linked to their syllabus, by participating in a centrifuge campaign that provides hypergravity conditions. The LDC allows samples to be exposed to acceleration forces of 1-20 times Earth's gravity. A total of six gondolas can be supported, each with a payload of up to 80 kg. More details on the program are available here.
The deadline for experiment proposals, December 12, 2011, is quickly approaching! Now is the time to submit proposals by following the steps outlined here.
