session 6

Title: Microgravity Sciences on board of Space stations
type: oral
Description: This session focusses on the presentation of scientific and operational results obtained from microgravity sciences research conducted on large orbital platforms, in particular the ISS, the Chinese Space Station (CSS) and upcoming commercial space stations. Papers on planned or newly developed research topics and experiment scenarios are also invited. The session comprises the preparation scenarios for further long-term flight opportunities beyond low Earth orbits such as the Deep Space Gateway station.
