Microgravity Lab at the Johnson Space Center

The Microgravity Lab at Johnson Space Center is a specialized facility designed to study the effects of microgravity on various materials and biological processes. By simulating weightlessness conditions, researchers can investigate how phenomena like fluid dynamics, combustion, and cellular behavior change in low gravity environments, which are similar to those found in space. This research helps improve our understanding of fundamental science and informs the design of future space missions, while also contributing to advancements in technology and medicine on Earth.
