NASA | Studying Microgravity for Space Exploration

Creating a weightless environment on Earth is one of the primary ways NASA seeks to understand how materials and reactions behave in microgravity, without needing to go into space. In this pathway, you will learn what microgravity is and why understanding its effects is crucial for successful missions into space.
