Engineers at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) have developed a new system called the Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) that provides a simulated reduced gravity environment within a confined interior volume for astronauts to move about and/or equipment to be moved about as if they were in a different gravity field.

2024年11月22日 · The Zero Gravity Research Facility is NASA’s premier facility for ground based microgravity research, and the largest facility of its kind in the world. The Zero-G facility is one of two drop towers located at the NASA site in Brook Park, Ohio.

2021年3月26日 · Bill Paloski, former director of the Human Research Program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, explores the idea of artificial gravity within a spacecraft for long-duration missions and explains how it may affect the human body from what we have learned through Earth-based studies.

2024年11月8日 · The Zero Gravity Research Facility provides the lowest gravity level of any of NASA’s ground based reduced gravity facilities. The ZGF provides researchers with a near weightless or microgravity environment for 5.18 seconds, as the experiment hardware is allowed to free-fall a distance of 132 meters (433’).

The device can simulate any level of gravity between weightlessness and 2 G, or twice Earth’s gravity. Its modules are outfitted with lighting, video cameras, microscopes, and oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors.

NASA Ames Research Center has developed a novel technology that can help provide solutions to these and other problems by a system and approach for creating artificial gravity using a non-rotating spacecraft with connected moving modules, …

The Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) is a technology development project at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) that provides high fidelity reduced gravity simulation for human and robotic testing. In development since 2007, ARGOS is …

The WAGM (Walking Anti-Gravity Machine) is an active approach to gravity offloading of space structures that deploy in three degrees of freedom. At its heart is the proven AGM (Anti-Gravity-Machine) technology

2024年11月4日 · A primer describing the “gravity assist” technique for propelling interplanetary spacecraft. Complete, illustrated instructions, and parts list with typical sources, for building your own mechanical “gravity assist” simulator.

Ground-based hyper-g facilities can be used to study how life responds to different g-loads. The centrifuges highlighted in this presentation are uniquely built for studies evaluating the effects of elevated g-forces on small model organisms ranging from microbes to plants to small animals.
