Scientific paper

A school physics demonstration experiment to be performed in Spacelab is described. The compensation of gravity is used to demonstrate the orbits of two bodies interacting by the Coulomb-force. In the demonstration experiment the Coulomb-force acts in the same way as gravitation acts in the real planetary system: two small bodies, properly electrically charged, orbit each other in the same way as planet and Sun, obeying Keplers laws. Equivalent demonstrations to be performed in a terrestrial laboratory are not possible.
