UPDATE - 2015-11-06: JAXA has advised of a temporary delay in this program. Please email us if you want to be informed of when the submission date is finalised, or have any other questions.

 

Try Zero G is a program run by the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA), which encourages young people to consider the impact gravity has on objects - and how experiments may differ when performed under microgravity conditions.

 

Broad goals:

 

If your experiment is selected, it will be performed by Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, and high-definition video of the experiment made available.

 

See the following video for an example of what you could suggest:
