Abstract

The European Programme for Life and Physical Sciences (ELIPS) of the European Space Agency provides a broad spectrum of unique mission opportunities for Life and Physical Sciences. Since 2009 a relatively small but increasingly important part of ELIPS is the special Ground-Based Facilities (GBF) element which has been providing the scientific user community with the ability to access a large variety of European research laboratories and institutions that simulate some of the conditions that can be found in the space environment. The wide range of research capabilities does not only improve the preparation of space experiments, but can also yield further scientific knowledge of the basic influence of gravity or other space or planetary conditions on life, physical, and interdisciplinary processes in general.
