Centrifuge Accommodations Module


The Centrifuge Accommodations Module (CAM) of the International Space Station provides controlled gravity for experiments and the capability to:

  • Expose a variety of biological specimens to artifical gravity levels between 0.01g and 2g.
  • Simultaneously provide two different artifical gravity levels.
  • Provide partial g and hyper g environment for specimens to investigate altered gravity effects and g-thresholds.
  • Provide short duration and partial g and hyper g environment for specimens to investigate temporal effects of gravity exposure.
  • Provide Earth simulation environment on ISS to isolate microgravity effects on specimens.
  • Provide Earth simulation environment on ISS to allow specimens to recover from microgravity effects.
  • Provide in situ 1g controls for specimens in micro-gravity.

The CAM attaches to Node 2 of the ISS.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
