Artificial gravity platform
Artificial gravity platform. Time exposure image of a test subject on a spinning artificial gravity platform. The platform generates a 1-G force at the feet of a 1.7-metre-tall person, whose head is at the centre of rotation. This is equivalent to the gravitational force on earth. It is being developed as a way of preventing the space deconditioning caused by prolonged weightlessness, which affects personnel on long spaceflights. Deconditioning results in muscular wasting and bone demineralization. Regular use of the platform in space may combat these problems. The platform is being developed in the Man-Vehicle Laboratory at MIT, USA

14"x12" (36x31cm) Antique Frame
Bevelled wood effect frame, card mounted, 10x8 archival quality photo print. Overall outside dimensions 14x12 inches (36x31cm). Environmentally and ozone friendly, the Polycore® moulding has the look of real wood, is durable and light and easy to hang. Biodegradable and made with non-chlorinated gases (no toxic fumes) it is efficient; producing 100 tons of polystyrene can save 300 tons of trees! Prints are glazed with lightweight, shatterproof, optical clarity acrylic (providing the same general protection from the environment as glass). The back is stapled hardboard with a sawtooth hanger attached. Note: To minimise original artwork cropping, for optimum layout, and to ensure print is secure, the visible print may be marginally smaller

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Artificial Gravity Platform, a groundbreaking invention developed at the Man-Vehicle Laboratory in MIT, USA. The image captures a test subject experiencing the effects of this innovative platform through a time exposure shot. As the platform spins, it generates a force equivalent to Earth's gravity at the feet of the 1.7-meter-tall person, with their head positioned at the center of rotation. The purpose behind this remarkable creation is to combat space deconditioning caused by prolonged weightlessness during long spaceflights. Astronauts often suffer from muscular wasting and bone demineralization due to extended periods without gravity's influence on their bodies. However, regular use of this artificial gravity platform has shown promising results in preventing these detrimental effects. Engineers and researchers have been tirelessly working on perfecting this prototype as it holds immense potential for future space exploration and transportation endeavors. By simulating gravitational forces experienced on Earth, astronauts can maintain healthier bodies while venturing into deep space missions. This photograph not only highlights cutting-edge technology but also symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering new frontiers beyond our planet. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in overcoming challenges posed by weightlessness during space travel.
