The Russian state rocket company, Energia, has officially secured a patent for a giant, rotating space architect, according ...

Space travel is incredibly taxing on the human body – and ironically, one of the best ways to simulate that is by staying in bed for long periods. The lack of gravity in space means that muscles and ...

Astrium, a European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company subsidiary, has teamed up with NanoRacks LLC, a space research company based in Virginia, and developed a commercial centrifuge facility for ...

NASA will use a new human centrifuge to explore artificial gravity as a way to counter the physiologic effects of extended weightlessness for future space exploration. NASA will use a new human ...

New plans for artificial gravity tests in space using centrifuges may hold the key to helping future astronauts ward off the debilitating loss of muscle and bone due to weightlessness on long missions ...

Astronauts on the International Space Station have a number of exercise options, including a mechanical bicycle bolted to the floor, a weightlifting machine strapped to the wall, and a strap-down ...

Yesterday, we listed the seven basic methods scientists use to get rid of gravity. Today, we’d like to go in the opposite direction, and look at a tool used to introduce a high amount of gravity to a ...

Scientists from NASA and two U.S. universities are using a 20-G centrifuge machine that can simulate up to 20 times the terrestrial gravity to evaluate the effects of hypergravity on humans. This ...

A group of astronauts, engineers, and business executives is betting on a vibrant space economy by launching a new initiative called “Star Harbor.” Among several planned activities, this spaceflight ...

NASA will use a new human centrifuge to explore artificial gravity as a way to counter the physiologic effects of extended weightlessness for future space exploration. The new research will begin this ...
