Canada's National Research Council flies parabolas simulating spaceflight microgravity, for science. For a week in August 2023 it brought student researchers along for the ride through SEDS Canada and the Canadian Space Agency .
Teams of roughly 10 students each were involved, often representing multiple institutions. Pictured here in front of the NRC's Falcon 20 aircraft is Ghada Eldib, mission specialist for the University of Calgary's Graviteam.
