European Space Agency, ESA | How 6G centrifuges prepare astronauts for space travel 🧑🚀 #shorts @EuropeanSpaceAgency | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Human centrifuges simulate the gravitational forces, known as g-forces, experienced by astronauts during launch and return to Earth.
The g-forces in this centrifuge were directed from the chest to the back, reaching acceleration levels up to 6G (equivalent to 4.5 times Earth's gravity).
The astronaut candidates reclined on their backs, reflecting the position astronauts assume in their launch vehicles.
Equipped with biomonitoring devices, they communicated with medical staff during the spin, describing the effects felt on their bodies.
