OBS

In 1991, ESA [European Space Agency] launched a programme to promote the industrial utilisation of microgravity : the Research Associations for the Development of Industrial Use of Space(RADIUS) Programme. The objective is to create a new user community that will be ready to use future flight opportunities, including the International Space Station, on a commercial basis. Through the programme, leading scientific organizations, experienced in well-defined areas of microgravity research, are identified and given the support required to define and begin undertaking, with non-space industries, several projects that could lead to space experimentation and could bring solutions or improvements to conventional industrial research.

OBS

Comment motiver les industries non spatiales à s'intéresser à l'utilisation de la microgravité qui sera disponible de façon quasi-continue à bord de la future Station spatiale internationale? Comment créer une approche dynamique qui les incitera à progressivement investir dans ces expériences spatiales au fur et à mesure que la pertinence de la microgravité par rapport à leur problème industriel leur aura été démontrée? Toutes ces questions ont été posées par le Bureau de Commercialisation de l'Agence spatiale européenne en 1991 à un groupe de travail composé de représentants de plusieurs entreprises européennes. Du travail de ce groupe est né le programme RADIUS qui entame la deuxième année de sa phase pilote de trois ans avec plus d'une vingtaine d'industriels impliqués dans des projets de recherche en microgravité.
