ABSTRACT:
To ensure that a body will be independent of gravitation for the performance of tests, an evacuable protection box is provided which encloses contact free the body from all sides.
The protection box has contactless scanning units to monitor the position of the body in its inside. It is conducted along three axes by a guiding system firmly connected to the spacecraft.
The movements along each of the three axes is accomplished by driving means controlled by the scanning units so that the protection box follows changed positions of the body relative to the spacecraft.
