Artificial Gravity Simulator

Artificial Gravity Simulator#

To simulate the effects of “weight” in deep space, the spacecraft is made to rotate with the astronaut “standing” on the inner hull of a circular chamber. The artificial gravity experienced by the astronaut is the inertial reaction to the normal force pulling them to the center of rotation.
