Device that Simulates Microgravity

Project Description

Microgravity Simulation Device — With renewed efforts to place humans on the moon and beyond, there is a need to understand the effects of microgravity on the human body during prolonged space missions. Our team designed and built a clinostat, which is a device that simulates microgravity. This device is a cost-effective way to study the effects of microgravity on biological samples.
