Earlier artificial-gravity designs revealed critical weaknesses. Nautilus-X, for example, relied on a rotating torus connected to a central corridor by a single passage. If that connection failed, ...

Russia has quietly taken a bold step toward solving one of spaceflight’s oldest problems by patenting a space station design that could generate its own gravity-like pull. The concept, which arrives ...

A look at how scientists and engineers explore ways to simulate gravity, including rotation and acceleration, for use in space travel.

Though spacecraft with artificial gravity are still a distant dream, we had proof of concept way back in September 1966.
