Creating Artificial Gravity in Space

San Diego Space Society is providing an opportunity to learn about creating Artificial Gravity in Space on June 19 from 2:30pm - 4:30pm at the Serra Mesa Branch Library, 9005 Aero Dr, San Diego, CA.

“Design Concepts for a Manned Artificial Gravity Research Facility” is presented by noted local researcher Joe Carroll of Tether Applications, Inc.

Joe will discuss what such a facility can do to advance the study of living in space. Topics covered:

• Focus on the overall effects of long-term hypogravity
• Allow realistic planning for Moon & Mars settlements
• Such a facility can address numerous physiology questions
• The facility can also resolve nearer-term issues

Joe will also reference and discuss “Packing for Mars” by Mary Roach, a recent book about human factors engineering in space. A limited number of copies of which will be available from the Space Travelers Emporium.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. RSVP to events@sdspace.org or e-mail if you have any questions.
