The possibility of ESA using Chinese launchers was examined. Candidate experiments to fly in piggy-back mode were a critical point facility; high precision thermostat; electrophoresic orientation; crystal growth furnaces; isothermal furnaces; and thermostated passive experiments. Except for electromagnetic compatibility, that needs to be experimentally checked-out, all interfaces are cleared and accommodation is reasonably easy. Timetable constraints are reasonable, although they are extremely severe in view of a flight in 1988 and even tight for a flight in 1989.
