Bookmark or Share- What is Microgravity? - NASABecause they’re all falling at the same rate, objects inside of the station appear to float in a state we call “zero gravity” (0g), or more accurately microgravity (1×10-6 g.) The condition of microgravity comes about whenever an object is in free fall.
- What Is Microgravity? (Grades 5-8) - NASAIn microgravity, astronauts can float in their spacecraft – or outside, on a spacewalk. Heavy objects move around easily. For example, astronauts can move equipment weighing hundreds of pounds with their fingertips. Microgravity is sometimes called “zero gravity,” but this is misleading.
- Space Exploration, Astronauts & Zero-Gravity - BritannicaMicrogravity, a measure of the degree to which an object in space is subjected to acceleration. In general parlance the term is used synonymously with zero gravity and weightlessness, but the prefix micro indicates accelerations equivalent to one-millionth (10−6) of the force of gravity at Earth’s.
- Ask a NASA astronomer! Why is there zero gravity in space?Why is there zero gravity in space? Astronauts aren’t floating in space, they’re free falling—and so are you. Here’s the amazing science behind so-called zero gravity.
- Zero Gravity Research Facility | Glenn Research Center | NASAThe Zero Gravity Research Facility is NASA’s premier facility for ground based microgravity research, and the largest facility of its kind in the world. It provides researchers with a near weightless environment for a duration of 5.18 seconds.
