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.
