Fallturm Bremen, Drop tower at University of Bremen, Germany.
The Fallturm Bremen features a 122-meter drop tube enclosed within a 146-meter concrete structure designed to minimize wind-induced vibrations during experiments.
Construction of this scientific facility occurred between 1988 and 1990, establishing a center for microgravity research at the University of Bremen.
Scientists and researchers from various countries gather at this facility to conduct experiments investigating fundamental physics and space technology applications.
The tower allows experiments in near-weightless conditions for up to 9 seconds using a catapult system installed in 2004 to launch test capsules.
In 2021, researchers at this facility achieved the lowest recorded temperature of 38 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero using quantum gas.
