NASA teamed up with two universities to study ways to reduce the adverse effects of space travel on astronauts' physical health. This month scientists conducted a pilot study (see above) on the 20-G centrifuge at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. The centrifuge creates artificial spinning gravity forces, simulating up to 20 times the normal forces of gravity we experience on Earth.
