Microgravity Facility

A Microgravity Facility is a specialized environment where the effects of gravity are minimized, allowing scientists to study physical and biological phenomena without the influence of Earth's gravity. This reduced gravity, similar to what astronauts experience in space, enables research on fluid dynamics, plant growth, materials science, and other processes in a near-weightless state. Such facilities are found onboard spacecraft or in dedicated labs, providing valuable insights that can lead to advancements in medicine, technology, and understanding of fundamental science. They simulate space conditions to help us learn how systems behave in low-gravity environments.
