The Test Facility: Large Diameter Centrifuge at ESA’s ESTEC SiteFor its series of experiments, the team from South America travels to the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Technical Center (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. The HyperGES program helps bridge this gap. Dietmar Pilz (Head of ESA’s ESTEC facility and Director of Technology, Engineering, and Quality) explained, “Through the UNOOSA-ESA HyperGES program, we are creating a unique opportunity for student teams worldwide. The “Access to Space for All” ProgramThe award is part of the fourth round of the HyperGES Fellowship Program (Fellowship Program on the Large Diameter Centrifuge Hypergravity Experiment Series). This program is part of the UNOOSA initiative “Access to Space for All,” which provides young researchers—particularly those from developing and emerging countries—with access to state-of-the-art space infrastructure.
