Lab, the world's first reusable space laboratory built in Europe
and launched in December 1983 and the international
collaborative project IML, the International Microgravity
Laboratory. Through interviews with ESA astronaut Ulf Merbold
and ESA Project Scientist Claude Brillouet the video explains
what microgravity is and why it is important for research in
many different scientific areas including astronomy, Earth
observation, biology and human physiology. Research was also
carried out in the IML on the "critical point", the transitional
state of certain materials such as the moment when ice changes
to water.
