The first planned artificial gravity experiment took place in late 1966, but the first human on the Moon beat them to it.

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

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 ...

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, ...

Mice flown aboard the International Space Station and exposed to Mars-like gravity for roughly a month showed only partial ...
