Going for a Spin with Artificial Gravity | Texas A&M Engineering (VIDEO)
Caption
Texas A&M University is expanding the nation’s capability to study how humans can thrive on future missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Inside the Anthony Wood ’87 Artificial Gravity Lab, researchers now operate one of the most advanced human centrifuges in the world—built to simulate partial‑gravity environments for long durations. This rare U.S.-based facility enables scientists and engineers to investigate how reduced gravity impacts cardiovascular performance, endurance, thermoregulation and overall human health. From mission planning to astronaut rehabilitation, this work is helping shape the systems, protocols and technologies needed for sustained deep‑space exploration.
