Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of space technology and control simulation, specifically to a microgravity simulation device and method. Background Technology

[0002] When preparing for long-duration space missions lasting 3 to 6 months or more, the medical and psychological aspects of the mission personnel become a crucial concern. The spatial constraints and psychological isolation experienced by personnel, especially the potential dangers of missions from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to the Moon and Mars, present enormous challenges and risks to human performance. These risks can stem from a variety of factors, including boredom, apathy, anxiety, crew self-management and increasing interdependence, interpersonal tensions, confined spaces, long flight times, mechanical failures, and unexpected physical health issues. A vast array of technologies across various fields of space science required for all these aspects need to be acquired through human space simulators. These technologies are vital for the future development of scientific knowledge and the advancement of space exploration.

[0003] Currently, simulations of the space environment include free-fall simulators and parabolic flight of aircraft. Free-fall simulators (FFMs) operate on the principle of free fall. In FFM, the maximum free-fall period is approximately 900 milliseconds (ms), interrupted by an acceleration of 20g for about 20–80 ms. FFM is a good weightlessness simulator for many biological samples. However, this technology also has some drawbacks, such as the short duration of microgravity, making it impossible to study the effects of microgravity on the system, and preventing experimenters from conducting passenger-carrying experiments. Parabolic flight of an aircraft can achieve a microgravity state of 25 seconds. A typical flight lasts 2–3 hours, with passengers and experimental subjects starting at an altitude of approximately 7 kilometers. The aircraft rapidly climbs at a 45-degree angle (ascent phase), then transitions to parabolic flight (level flight phase), and finally descends rapidly at a 45-degree angle (descent phase). The occupants and test subjects will experience hypergravity on the order of 2-2.5g during ascent and descent, while during the parabolic level flight phase, at an altitude of 7.3 km to 10.4 km, they will experience 10 -2 Microgravity on the order of grams, lasting for more than 15 seconds. While aircraft cannot achieve the same high-quality microgravity conditions as a drop tower, it can be used to study the effects of microgravity on the cardiovascular systems of animals and humans. Performing parabolic flight by aircraft is costly and complex to maintain.
