Zero Gravity Graphene - Solar Sails
Students working at Delft Technical University, the Netherlands, tested graphene in space-like microgravity for potential future use as a light sail in space-craft propulsion. The GrapheneX team successfully submitted their proposal to ESA Education’s Drop Your Thesis! Programme in October 2016 and performed their experiment at the 146 m ZARM Drop Tower in Bremen, Germany in November 2017 .
