A UA research team conducted an experiment it designed with NASA during the first week of June. The microgravity research team was one of 18 teams to participate in NASA’s highly competitive Reduced ...

As space travel gains traction and astronauts spend increasing amounts of time in space, studying its effects on health has become increasingly critical. Is space travel truly safe? Far from it – ...

Some of the first experiments in space dealt with gravity and weightlessness. They were somewhat simple studies to test the new environment. Alan Shepard was the first man to hit a golf ball on the ...

China's Tiangong space station has been the setting for an innovative experiment on lithium-ion batteries, conducted by the three astronauts of the ...

Space travel is not normal. Humans did not evolve to spend extended time in microgravity environments without having to use their muscles to stand upright, all while being bathed in cosmic radiation, ...

The main difference between life on the International Space Station (ISS) and life here on terra firma is microgravity, which forces you to float around rather than walk. To prepare newbie astronauts ...

Being an astronaut looks like an exciting and glamorous career. But have you ever thought about the dangers that these people face by being exposed to extreme conditions, such as radiation and ...

In this month’s Physics World Stories podcast, Andrew Glester discovers why microgravity environments are such interesting places to do physics experiments. Perhaps the ultimate microgravity ...

Rockledge, Florida — Seventy-five Florida aerospace engineers, technicians and scientists will gain first-hand knowledge of spaceflight working conditions under a new state-sponsored initiative aimed ...

ISS is now using the microgravity environment to understand skin aging and cancer tumors further. Astronauts stationed at the International Space Station are quite busy conducting various experiments.
