The experiments required are at the limits of sensitivity of mechanical measurements ... a volume that will be valuable not only to the community of gravitational physicists but also to the larger ...
Sometimes science needs to go big. From telescopes spanning the globe to particle accelerators that would take over 24 hours to walk around, these experiments are among the largest ever conducted.
DLR has at its disposal the PK-4 plasma crystal laboratory on the ISS for this purpose, which can be used to conduct gravitational experiments and gain insight into the basic physical properties of ...
