Zero Gravity Laboratory

A Zero Gravity Laboratory is a facility designed to simulate the sensation of weightlessness experienced in space. It uses specialized equipment, such as drop towers, parabolic flights, or underwater setups, to create environments where objects and people appear to float freely. These labs are used for research, testing spacecraft, training astronauts, and studying the effects of microgravity on materials, biology, and technology. By recreating zero gravity conditions, scientists can better understand how living organisms and equipment behave in space, which is essential for space exploration missions and developing new space technologies.
