Bremen Drop Tower

Bremen Drop Tower is ZARM's 146-metre microgravity laboratory at the University of Bremen, where free-fall experiments reproduce weightlessness for space research. Advance-booked public tours introduce microgravity with hands-on demonstrations and take visitors through scientists' working areas; laboratory operations permitting, they also reveal the tower's inner tube, the GraviTower short-duration experiment system, and ZARM's Mars research station. Fixed individual dates, group tours, and school programmes are offered, although standard tours do not visit the panorama rooms at the top.
