Texas A&M launches advanced centrifuge lab to study artificial gravity effects on human body

Texas A&M University has opened the Anthony Wood '87 Artificial Gravity Lab, featuring a research centrifuge acquired from NASA. The facility is positioned to become one of the most advanced human centrifuge facilities in the United States, with the capability to simulate lunar and Martian gravity levels for extended durations. The lab will enable researchers to conduct experiments on how varying gravity conditions affect human physiology, supporting future long-duration space missions to the Moon and Mars.
