As part of the ESA Academy Experiments programme, the Slovenian team CAVE 0g and the German team MVIPER successfully completed their experiments during the 87th ESA parabolic flight campaign in September 2025. Flying aboard Novespace’s Airbus A310 from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, the teams tested innovative technologies designed for microgravity. CAVE 0g explored how ultrasonic cavitation drives the formation and stability of emulsions in microgravity, while MVIPER tested a magnet- and electricity-driven photobioreactor that creates a vortex to separate gas and liquid in microgravity.
