The Ground Cyber-Laboratory W elcome to the Ground Science Cyber-Laboratory. Here you can perform ground experiments to demonstrate in a very simple way many of the microgravity concepts that we study onboard the space-shuttle. Of course the shuttle experiments are a lot more complicated than these simple ground-based experiments - but nonetheless illustrate many important concepts that are being applied to medicine, industry, and safety! Some experiments are designed for the classroom, but many can be done at home. In any case, many of the experiments have animations which illustrate the principles being described.

84. Microgravity - Creating Microgravity Creating microgravity. In a practical sense, microgravity can be achieved witha number of technologies, each depending upon the act of free fall. http://quest.nasa.gov/smore/background/microgravity/MGintro3.html

Creating Microgravity Drop Towers and Tubes In a practical sense, microgravity can be achieved with a number of technologies, each depending upon the act of free fall. Drop towers and drop tubes are high-tech versions of the elevator analogy presented in a previous section. The large version of these facilities is essentially a hole in the ground. Drop towers accommodate large experiment packages, generally using a drop shield to contain the package and isolate the experiment from aerodynamic drag during free fall in the open environment. NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio has a 145-meter drop tower facility that begins on the surface and descends into Earth like a mine shaft. The test section of the facility is 6.1 meters in diameter and 132 meters deep. Beneath the test section is a catch basin filled with polystyrene beads. The 132-meter drop creates a microgravity environment for a period of 5.2 seconds. To begin a drop experiment, the experiment apparatus is placed in either a cylindrical or rectangular test vehicle that can carry experiment loads of up to 450 kilograms. The vehicle is suspended from a cap that encloses the upper end of the facility. Air is pumped out of the facility until a vacuum of 10 -2 torr is achieved. (Atmospheric pressure is 760 torr.) By doing so, the acceleration effects caused by aerodynamic drag on the vehicle are reduced to less than 10 -5 g. During the drop, cameras within the vehicle record the action and data is telemetered to recorders.

Did you know?.... ....that a person on a moving train will be heavier when the train is moving east and lighter when the train is moving west! ....because the centrifugal force of the rotating earth opposes gravity. Objects moving eastward have a greater centrifugal force and therefore an apparently lower gravity. News Microsearch are research contractors to the UK Environment Agency, providing guidance on the use of Microgravity in Karst vulnerability surveys and limestone cavity detection. Microgravity ...is the name that has been adopted for very high resolution gravity mapping. Microgravity surveys are typically used to detect sub-surface cavities or changes in sub-surface density. Microsearch provides state-of-the-art microgravity services and presents this web site as a useful source of reference for potential users. This site introduces basic concepts of gravity , from Newton to Bouguer, and allows the user to perform a selection of surveys . There is even a section that allows the user to model the detectability of a sub-surface void.

Microgravity Space is the laboratory of the next millennium Astronaut Joe Allen with his morning orange juice on an early Shuttle mission The microgravity environment of space offers a unique environment to perform research with the potential to lead to new products and technologies. Microgravity provides an opportunity for experimentation in a whole new quiescent environment: no thermally-induced convection no sedimentation/stratification no hydrostatic pressure reduced contact with vessel walls Microgravity has been a major area of research in the space programs of all space faring nations, and will revolutionize traditional Earth-bound processing methods. The potential scientific, technological and commercial benefits of microgravity research to humankind are substantial, especially in the biomedical and drug development sectors.

Microgravity surveying is the measurement of extremely small variations of the Earth's gravity field with a precison as small as 1 part in 10 . With careful field techniques and sophisticated data processing it is possible to extract the minute variations associated with sub-surface cavities and voids from the effects caused by instrument drift, Earth tides and regional geological variations. The group have used these techniques to detect both natural and man-made cavities including old gold workings in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, the caves known as Blue Holes in the Bahamas, abandoned mineworkings in the Uk and abroad and a variety of Karstic features in limestone terrains extending from Ireland the the Arabian Gulf. For more details about Microgravity surveying please click here For information about work we carried out on the A2 at Blackheath in London, please see this PDF file This picture shows the gravity anomaly over the "Blue Holes" in the Bahamas.

What Is Microgravity? Education Outreach Contact SEM WHAT IS MICROGRAVITY? Microgravity is the condition of near weightlessness that results when an object undergoes free fall, or is placed at a very great distance from massive objects like the Earth. Scientists are interested in microgravity because many physical and biological processes work differently in a low gravity environment. The space shuttle provides a good laboratory for microgravity research and the SEM Program offers students of all ages an opportunity to conduct experiments in microgravity just like the scientists.

Microgravity and Crystal Growth Experiments The shape of the melted zone is a delicate balance between surface tension of the molten zone and gravity induced effects. On earth, the molten zone sags under gravity. In microgravity, the zone is more uniform making it possible to process much larger crystal rods.

What is microgravity? It is conveyed that Albert Einstein thought of the hint to the theory of gravity ,by imaging an elevator. "It is one day in November, 1907. A certain thought suddenly flashed in his mind, when he was sitting on the chair of a patent office in Bern! If a certain person is doing a free fall, he will not feel the body weight of himself. I was given a start. This simple idea gave an extremely deep impression to me. This drove me to the theory of gravity" ("Toy of Albert Einstein": TBS Britanica Co.,Ltd.) Don't you feel that your body floats in the air in descending elevator? This is because your body is light at this time barely. Conversely, your body becomes heavy barely in rising elevator. When an elevator is halting When an elevator is descending When an elevator is rising (Your body weight) (Light weight) (Heavy weight)

100. Microgravity microgravity on Earth. This more accurate term is microgravity, since astronautsand the spacecraft do make a small gravitational attraction for each other. http://mars2002.enoreo.on.ca/crew/scientist/microgravity.htm

Astronaut Training Communication Technology Tutorials Project Scientist ... Floating Microgravity on Earth Background Everywhere in our universe, we feel the pull of gravity. When astronauts go into space, they experience "weightlessness" and everything falls freely at the same rate. People appear to have no weight because there is nothing in the way to stop their fall. The zero-gravity that astronauts experience inside the Space Shuttle is not really zero-gravity at all. Zero-gravity implies that the gravitational pull in space is zero. This is not the case. Astronauts "float" in space because they are in a state of free fall produced by their orbital motions around Earth. Astronauts and their spacecraft are falling together. This condition is sometimes called "weightlessness" because a bathroom scale inside the Shuttle would not record any weight for an astronaut standing on it. The scale would be falling as well. This more accurate term is microgravity, since astronauts and the spacecraft do make a small gravitational attraction for each other. Purpose to simulate "weightlessness" by performing a freefall demonstration
