Investigation of the Coriolis effect in rotating space platforms
... the design in terms of technical feasibility but, most importantly, also ensure the quality of life in the artificial gravity environment. The Coriolis effect is one of the potential issues, for shorter arm spacecraft and needs to be investigated...

Gravitational waves provide new window on the universe
... merging black holes that produced these exciting waves. To explain gravitational waves, we need to understand how gravity acts in space. Gravity is the force that keeps us, and everything else, rooted to Earth’s surface and, when applied to our...

Misplaced satellites provide highest accuracy yet of Einstein's theory
... to a massive object. Einstein theorised that shifts in gravity would alter the passing of time a century ago and... these regular shifts in height, and therefore regular shifts in gravity levels, turned a misfortunate event into a fortunate one. “The...

Protecting crews in interplanetary ships and space colonies from the space environment
...resources can also be used to create settlements on the surface of Mars in the form of ring packages with artificial gravity. Technically, this is achievable by using ring trestles made of light lattice trusses. If Starship rockets are used to supply...
