Highspeedcamerasystem marathon 200 LT in zero gravity:

CCS - Cloud Core Scanner - an artistic experiment in zero gravity. On occasion of the tenth parabolic flight campaign of the DLR (German Aerospace Center), Agnes Meyer-Brandis is venturing an expedition into 8500m altitude, in order to research the activities of aerosols under the condition of zero-gravity (Sept. 2007).
On board and being activated for the very first time are the “Cloud-Core Scanner” (CCS) and the new “ADM-Filmbox”, able to capture even the fastest among the tiniest.

The CCS is the first picture generating instrument for examining the smallest particles in the clouds’ interior – the cloud cores, so-called aerosols. The hovering water accumulations and its nucleus will be explored inside the laboratory "CCS-Flight-Sphere.
The ADM-Filmbox - animation by microgravity, is one apparatus for the creation and generation of (moving- and still-)images with scientific methods and artistic vision.

Within the AMD-Filmbox four marathon 200 LT Highspeedcamera-recordering units where installed. Even in these very difficult lighting and operating conditions at high (>2G) and zero G all units worked very well. Because of the very high sensitivity and dynamic range of the cameras ist was possible to install the experiment in a very small place without large and complex lighting systems - but with a high quality image as result.
