The International Space Station will offer exciting, new research opportunities in the microgravity environment on a frequent basis. Austria is currently not participating in the ISS programme, nor in the ESA microgravity programme. This event, for the first time, will bring together ESA experts and interested Austrian researchers to discuss participation opportunities in the ESA microgravity programme. The ESA microgravity programme will be described (incl. use of research facilities available on the ground and in space, institutional framework, ongoing activities covering a broad range of research fields etc.) and participants will have the opportunity to shortly present and overview of their own ongoing or planned research activities.

13. Europe - Space Activities has sponsored a variety of life sciences activities since its plans to continue itslife science experiments on role in the International space Station program http://www.fas.org/spp/guide/europe/science/life/

FAS Space Guide Europe ... Join FAS LIFE SCIENCES ESA has sponsored a variety of life sciences activities since its first such mission in 1985. These endeavors have been both in concert with other agencies, namely USSR/Russia and NASA, and as strictly European initiatives. Those missions entirely administered by ESA often have one member country or more as the principal participant or lead state. In some cases, the distinction between international and national programs may be somewhat blurred. For example, the first major ESA life sciences experiments were the Biorack, Anthrorack, and Vestibular Sled flown on Spacelab D1, which was primarily funded by Germany. Of the three European astronauts who flew on that mission, two were German and one was Dutch. While Germany is a strong participant in ESA, its two astronauts were official representatives of DARA on Spacelab D1. The Dutch astronaut was a representative for ESA (Section 5.1.3). ESA plans to continue its life science experiments on Russian (Mir, Photon, and Bion) and American (STS) spacecraft while preparing for its role in the International Space Station program with emphasis on its own Columbus Orbital Facility. ESA's Microgravity Advisory Committee in 1994 defined 15 high priority research areas in life sciences for future investigations.

14. EURECA - European Space Activities http://www.fas.org/spp/guide/europe/science/life/eureca.htm

FAS Space Guide Europe ... Join EURECA Another ESA life sciences project was carried aboard the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA). Launched 31 July 1992, EURECA operated at an altitude of 500 km with an orbital inclination of 28.5 degrees and was designed for longer-duration experiments than are available with Spacelab. After eleven months in orbit, the US STS retrieved EURECA in June, 1993. Used for both materials and life sciences, EURECA's first mission included the Exobiology and Radiation Assembly as one of the five major components of the payload. EURECA-1 utilized about seventy percent of the maximum 1,000-kg payload capacity. Optimal microgravity conditions are about 5x10 g (an order of magnitude better than is achievable aboard Spacelab), while the guaranteed worst conditions are 10 g (similar to Spacelab). Originally planned for five flights, future missions of EURECA are uncertain (References 2-4) REFERENCES EURECA , ESA BR-16, European Space Agency, 1983. 3. J. R. Asker, "Eureca Will Offer New Capabilities for Extended Microgravity Experiments", Aviation Week and Space Technology , 20 July 1992, p. 46.
