Microgravity Research
Microgravity research explores how physical and biological processes behave in environments with very low gravity, such as aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In microgravity, the effects of gravity are minimal, allowing scientists to study phenomena that are difficult to observe on Earth. This research can provide insights into fluid dynamics, combustion, material science, and biological systems. The findings can lead to advancements in technology, improve medical treatments, and enhance our understanding of fundamental science, ultimately benefiting life both in space and on Earth.
