Microgravity Sciences

Microgravity sciences study how physical and biological processes behave in environments with very low gravitational forces, such as those found in space. In microgravity, the effects of gravity are greatly reduced, allowing scientists to observe phenomena—like fluid dynamics, combustion, and biological growth—that are hard to replicate on Earth. This research helps us understand fundamental principles of science and can lead to advancements in technology, medicine, and materials. Experiments in microgravity can provide insights that improve life on Earth and are essential for preparing for long-term human space exploration.
