  • GAGa (Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany): Granular Anisotropic Gases - study of the effects of anisotropy on granular gas dynamics.
  • CoGraMa (University of Cologne & University of Düsseldorf, Germany): COhesive GRAnular Matter - investigation into the behavious of a wet granular gas in microgravity.
  • EXPLORE (University of Stuttgart, Germany): EXPeriment for Liquid On-orbit Refueling.
  • FOCUS (Technical University of Munich, Germany): First Orbit Curing Experiment of University Students - development and flight testing of a deployable structure with a resin matrix that will be cured after deployment.

ESA/SNSB sponsored experiments:
