The possibility to set down a spacecraft for microgravity research during satellite launch missions in case of overcapacity on the launcher is discussed. The orbit of the capsule will be a low Earth orbit for a duration of 7 to 21 days with high microgravity quality. An Apollo shape spacecraft was chosen for space flight experience of this architecture and payload capacity reasons.
