The book introduces readers to the concept of weightlessness and
microgravity, and presents several examples of microgravity
research in fluid physics, the material sciences and human
physiology. Further, it explains a range of basic physical concepts
(inertia, reference frames, mass and weight, accelerations,
gravitation and weightiness, free fall, trajectories, and platforms
for microgravity research) in simple terms. The last section
addresses the physiological effects of weightlessness. The book's
simple didactic approach makes it easy to read: equations are kept
to a minimum, while examples and applications are presented in the
appendices. Simple sketches and photos from actual space missions
illustrate the main content. This book allows readers to understand
the space environment that astronauts experience on board space
stations, and to more closely follow on-going and future space
missions in Earth orbit and to Mars.
