Case Study Ensuring Meaningful Scientific Research Data from Space Airbus Case Study How Hazelcast provided the right software development model for the ground systems that help researchers make adjustments to experiments on sounding rocket space missions. Introduction While manned space missions are a great opportunity for scientific research, they are complemented by more cost-effective means of collecting data. For example, “sounding rockets” are used to collect scientific data under microgravity conditions lasting up to 15 minutes in a very cost efficient way. Experiments for sounding rockets can be developed in a time frame much shorter than that required for preparing them for execution e.g. on-board the ISS (International Space Station). This provides timely information
