A system was developed and successfully demonstrated by carrying it to the upper portions of the stratosphere and then releasing it to achieve a microgravity environment for almost 60 seconds. The Mikroba system successfully carried several experiments which required more than the 6 to 10 seconds of microgravity achievable from other drop facilities. This paper describes this new system and reviews the quality of the most recent flight experience. It is anticipated that this approach will provide a cost-effective mechanism for achieving microgravity conditions much longer than other drop facilities.
