During our 86th parabolic flight campaign, researchers fired a laser at ultralight graphene aerogels in zero gravity. They shot forward. Instantly. In 30 milliseconds. On Earth? Barely a flicker. In microgravity? A completely different story. No fuel. No moving parts. Just light, steering satellites and powering missions of the future. *The videos of the experiment have been slowed down 10 times.* 📹 European Space Agency (ESA) #ESA #Space #Science
