Energy bic Book Industry Communication::P Mathematics & science::PH Physics::PHD Classical mechanics::PHDY Energy This book has been prepared under the auspice of the European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA). The main task of ELGRA is to foster the scientific community in Europe and beyond in conducting gravity and space-related research.This publication is dedicated to the science community, and especially to the next generation of scientists and engineers interested in space research and in the means to use Earth to reproduce the space environment. ELGRA provides a comprehensive description of space conditions and the means that have been developed on Earth to perform space environmental and (micro-) gravity related research. .The book covers ground-based research instruments and environments for both life and physical sciences research. It discusses the opportunities and limitations of protocols and instruments to compensate gravity or simulate microgravity, such as clinostats, random positioning machines, levitating magnets, electric fields, vibrations, tail suspension or head down tilt, as well as centrifuges for hyper-g studies. Other space environmental conditions are addressed too, like cosmic radiation or Mars atmospheric and soil properties to be replicated and simulated on Earth. Future long duration of manned missions, personal well-being and crew interaction are major issues dealt with. 2022-11-28T16:03:17Z 2022-11-28T16:03:17Z 2015 book ONIX_20221128_9781000794885_7 9781000794885 9781003338277 9788793237537 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/59723 eng application/pdf n/a 9781000794885.pdf Taylor & Francis River Publishers 10.1201/9781003338277 10.1201/9781003338277 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb c6b23d57-447f-4a61-8271-70b03d363163 9781000794885 9781003338277 9788793237537 River Publishers 318 [...] open access
