Zero Gravity Research Facility

The Zero Gravity Research Facility is a specialized laboratory that creates near-weightless conditions similar to space by using a large vertical drop tower. Scientists and engineers drop objects or experiments inside a vacuum-sealed capsule, allowing them to study how materials, fluids, or biological specimens behave without gravity’s influence. This environment helps develop technologies for space exploration and improves understanding of physical processes that are difficult to observe under Earth's gravity. The facility provides a cost-effective way to simulate zero-gravity conditions on a small scale, supporting advancements in aerospace, materials science, and biology research.
