Artificial gravity

Twelve people are about to embark on the world’s longest sleepover, all in the name of space research. The group will be confined to beds designed to mimic the rigors of space for 60days straight. Some of the volunteers will also be testing strategies that can hopefully reduce the bodily strain caused by a lack of gravity, such as exercising while being spun around in a centrifuge.Better Mobility & Cameras: NASA & Axiom's New Spacesuits | TechmodoThe research project is called the BRACE (Bed Rest with Artificial…

One of the main questions surrounding humanity’s next giant leap into deep space is whether humans can thrive on missions far from Earth. A new theory says yes, but only in environments modeled deeply after our own planet.Astronomers Could Soon Get Warnings When SpaceX Satellites Threaten Their ViewFather-daughter research duo Morgan Irons of Cornell University and Lee G. Irons from the Norfolk Institute dubthe idea “pancosmorio,” a word that means “all word limit,” in a paper published in Frontiers in Astronomy and…

Lunar Glass is the proposed project that will simulate gravity through centrifugal force. Gif: Kajima Corporation/GizmodoInterest in the Moon has been reignited recently, and Japan is looking to get in on the fun. Researchers and engineers from Kyoto University and the Kajima Corporation have released their joint proposal for a three-pronged approach to sustainable human life on the Moon and beyond.The future of space exploration will likely include longer stays in low gravity environments, whether in orbit or on the…
