A group of students from universities across Canada recently had the unique opportunity to conduct scientific experiments in a zero-gravity environment aboard the National Research Council's (NRC) Falcon 20 research jet. This initiative is part of an effort to enhance practical learning experiences in the fields of science and aerospace engineering. The National Research Council, which operates the Falcon 20, provides a platform for educational institutions to engage in innovative experiments that can contribute to scientific advancements. CBC journalist Stu Mills was invited to accompany the students on this journey, providing insights into their work and the challenges associated with conducting experiments in a microgravity setting. Participants expressed enthusiasm for the experience, highlighting its potential to inspire future research endeavors in Canada’s scientific community.
