Microgravity testing platforms

Microgravity testing platforms are specialized environments where scientists simulate conditions of near-zero gravity, similar to space. These platforms enable researchers to study how materials, fluids, and biological systems behave without the influence of Earth's gravity. This helps in developing new technologies, medical procedures, and understanding fundamental scientific processes that are affected by gravity. Common platforms include drop towers, parabolic flight (vomit comet), and orbital laboratories like the International Space Station. By replicating microgravity, these platforms provide critical insights that improve space exploration and benefit various industries on Earth.
