Microgravity research facilities

Microgravity research facilities are specialized environments that allow scientists to conduct experiments in conditions of very low gravity, which can be found in space or created on Earth. These facilities, such as the International Space Station or drop towers, enable researchers to study material behavior, biological processes, and physical phenomena without the interference of Earth's gravitational pull. This unique setting helps advance our understanding in fields like medicine, engineering, and environmental science, leading to innovations that can benefit life on Earth and beyond.
