Scientific paper

The overall strategic objective of ESA'S Microgravity Applications Promotion Programme is to generate a European activity using the International Space Station as a facility for industrial R & D. ``Applications'' of microgravity may be understood as the exploitations of the ISS for applied research and as a testbed for the development of technology and processes useful on Earth and for long-duration space flight. The objective is therefore to develop projects in order to: optimise applied ground-based physical and biological processes; generate data and materials samples relevant for industrial R & D; and investigate space-related physiological changes relevant for long-duration space flight, which may also be relevant for clinical applications on Earth. The Microgravity Applications Promotion Programme has the objective to foster and to develop a first generation of projects with involvement from industry, which should demonstrate that microgravity is indeed a useful tool for industrial R & D. These projects will be prepared by precursor experiments using traditional carriers and opportunities in the early utilisation of the ISS.
