Zero Gravity Research Facility
The Zero Gravity Research Facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, is a renowned facility dedicated to conducting tests in a reduced gravity environment. Utilizing vertical drop tests in a vacuum chamber, the facility investigates the behavior of systems, components, liquids, gases, and combustion in microgravity. Established in 1966 as part of NASA's Centaur upper-stage rocket development program, the Zero Gravity Research Facility plays a crucial role in supporting research for both crewed spacecraft programs and uncrewed projects. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985, this facility continues to contribute significantly to the advancement of space exploration and technology.Generated from the website
