From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Université Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2 is the medicine and life sciences center in the University of Bordeaux system, under the Academy of Bordeaux.
Since February, a team led by Dominique Martin of the Bordeaux University Hospital, have been rehearsing for the first human operation in zero gravity, using the Zero-G aircraft. The operation is part of a project to develop surgical robots in space that are guided via satellite by Earth-based doctors. The project is expected to be completed in 2007 with backing from the European Space Agency (ESA).
