SCAMIX: Small Capsule for Microgravity Experiments

This contribution focuses on the assessment of the needs for a microgravity platform for performing scientific experiments in LEO. This point is a consequence of the ISS’s end of life. To fill this gap, an assessment of the existing microcapsules developed so far is performed. Additionally, first results for paving the way to provide a platform for performing such flight experiments are shown through the first elements of a dedicated aerothermodynamic database.
