Visions of beating gravity
... other hand, will be against the wall of the rotating cylinder, where the artificial gravity created by the centrifugal force prevents insomnia and weakening of muscles and bones. Presenting at Asgardia’s first Space Science and Investment...

Space research in embryology
...have shown that, in 80 percent of embryos, the neurotubule failed to link up in the head or cephalic region. However, when a centrifuge creating 1 g was used, such defects occurred only in 4.5 percent of embryos. Apart from the obvious gravity factor...

Spaceport America’s road to the future
... launch area (VLA), and an advanced technology area (ATA). In the latter we have SpinLaunch, a company that’s working on a centrifuge, kinetic energy option for the first stage. In the VLA we have UP Aerospace, and small drone developments...

Pioneering human reproduction in space
...tests, conducted with partners at NASA GeneLab and Ghent IVF laboratory, exposed oocytes to hyper gravity conditions in a centrifuge – demonstrating that, even at 9G, there were no negative effects. Further tests are planned to confirm these findings...

Catapult to orbit - will David finally defeat Goliath?
... to those already achieved by commercial jet airliners. However, to develop a functional satellite launcher it will need a much larger centrifuge (three times the current size) and the company has been relatively quiet since 2022. Launch...
