An artificial gravity demonstration experiment
3rd Tethers in Space/ Toward Flight International Conference, 1989An artificial gravity experiment which is tethered to a Delta second stage and which uses the Small Expendable Deployer System is proposed. Following tether deployment, the Delta vehicle performs the required spin-up maneuver and can then be passivated. A surplus reentry vehicle houses the artificial gravity life science experiments.

Artificial Gravity with Magnetism
Scientific American, 2006The article reports on research results presented by Katherine Guevorkian from Brown University at the American Physical Society meeting in March 2006. Living tissues become magnetic in response to an external magnetic field. Researchers reversed the gravity field felt by the paramecium, a single-cell organism, and found that it continues swimming in ...

A NEW CONCEPT IN ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY SYSTEMS
4th Manned Space Flight Meeting, 1965A concept is presented of a rotating artificial gravity system for manned orbital vehicles and stations which requires no expenditure of propulsive mass to attain full-vehicle rotation. The device proposed is a deployable reaction flywheel of large radius, consisting of small weights at the ends of light flexible cables driven by a motor through the ...

Human Factors and Artificial Gravity: A Review
Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1971Rotation of a spacecraft to induce artificial gravity will result in a number of unusual mechanical and perceptual phenomena. The nature of the unusual forces observed in artificial gravity is such that their effects are mediated by the position, orientation, and direction of motion of the astronaut.

A Matter of Some (Artificial) Gravity
SpaceOps 2014 Conference, 2014The fact that the microgravity environment is harmful to the human body has been known for decades but continues to be endlessly studied. Attempts to deal with this problem have included “diet, drugs and exercise”, and a multitude of customized 0g devices, none of which addresses the root cause.

The Gravity Kit: A Modular Approach to Affordable Artificial Gravity
53rd International Conference on Environmental SystemsOne of the greatest unknowns for human space exploration is the effect of lunar or Mars gravity levels on the long-term health of the human body. Given the current lack of detail in human Mars program plans, it is entirely possible that we will commit humans to a Mars mission without any data on the effect of Mars gravity on biological processes, and ...

Artificial Gravity in Popular Culture
2019This article focuses on artificial gravity in popular culture. We begin with a brief discussion on the mechanics of gravity before giving a critical analysis of the artificial gravity observed in the films “Elysium”, “the Martian” and “Interstellar” as well as the book “Ender’s Game”.

Exercise in artificial gravity
2005Artificial gravity provided by short radius centrifugation is considered a promising countermeasure to the deleterious physiological effects of microgravity during long-duration space flight. We investigated the feasibility of dual countermeasures to address space flight deconditioning of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, by combining ...
