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.*
