The Physical Sciences Programme goal, structure, priorities, research disciplines, scientific topics, hardware developments, and flight pportunities are outlined. All German microgravity activities are performed within the corresponding ESA Programmes, the National Space Programme, and the DLR R&D Programme in an integrated manner. The aim is o maximize the gained scientific knowledge for developing new materials, advanced technologies and to reveal some mysteries of the physical world.
