Earlier artificial-gravity designs revealed critical weaknesses. Nautilus-X, for example, relied on a rotating torus connected to a central corridor by a single passage. If that connection failed, ...

As the possibility of long-duration space exploration becomes more feasible, the issue of how to preserve astronaut health during such missions is becoming increasingly critical. Recently, Russia’s ...

Though spacecraft with artificial gravity are still a distant dream, we had proof of concept way back in September 1966.

A look at how scientists and engineers explore ways to simulate gravity, including rotation and acceleration, for use in ...
