ISS is a great platform for Earth Science as well as for micro-gravity research. ❋ Unknown (2009)
I spent 50 days simulating micro-gravity at a NASA study, and had to be VERY careful with my exercise afterward, both for the sake of bone injuries and muscle tears. ❋ Unknown (2009)
While the ISS is still "under construction" by some definition (for 10+ years, by the way), people have circled the Earth and done micro-gravity experiments of all kinds for almost 50 years, sometimes using expensive laboratories like those provided by Skylab, the Saluts, Mir, the Spacelab in many configurations and the SpaceHab. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Pazlar shook her head, her fine white hair following a heartbeat behind owing to her protective cocoon of micro-gravity. ❋ Michael A. Martin (2010)
Robot and human surgeons compare micro-gravity operating skills ❋ Ewillett (2007)
Good news for future space travelers: the world's first demonstration of robotic surgery in a simulated micro-gravity environment takes place this week, in a collaborative effort between SRI International and the University of Cincinnati. ❋ Ewillett (2007)
The shielding protects the micro-gravity industrial space, too. ❋ Stephen D. Covey (2009)
These ongoing studies use long-term bed rest to simulate the effects of micro-gravity an astronaut would experience during extended space flight. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Researchers hope to capitalize on the prospect of quick, low-cost and frequent access to the micro-gravity environment of sub-orbital space. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Harper tried to jerk it around and get the hose connection loose, but his hand slid off instead and he swore as the heavy composite wrench spun away in the micro-gravity. ❋ Unknown (2007)
When an astronaut is in a micro-gravity environment (for example, doing a spacewalk outside the International Space Station), working in such a massive suit is manageable, but, as Newman says, "It's a whole different ballgame when we go to the moon or Mars, and we have to go back to walking and running, or loping." ❋ Ewillett (2007)
Exposed to special environment such as cosmic radiation and micro-gravity, some seeds will mutate to such an extent that they may produce much higher yield and improved quality, said Sun. ❋ Unknown (2006)
In other quite literally screwy space news hey, this is the "around the world" section, some clever Canadians have hit upon a novel solution for the problem of dealing with liquids in micro-gravity. ❋ Unknown (2008)
No one's learned anything from the shuttle or the ISS, except that humans can't live in micro-gravity, and we probably could have figured that out for less than many tens of billions of dollars. ❋ Unknown (2008)
If you try to light a match under micro-gravity conditions we all got used to “zero-g” so some smarty pants had to go and call it “micro-gravity” and just hold it in one place, it will self-extinguish. ❋ James Killus (2007)
