Italy Explores Building an Artificial Gravity Research Platform in Orbit

The Italian Space Agency is exploring the possibility of building an orbital platform capable of generating artificial gravity. ASI announced the initiative on 8 October and expects to open a consultation with the scientific and technological community later this month to gather research requirements, ideas and potential uses for the proposed platform. According to the agency, future missions to the Moon, Mars and other planetary bodies will require a better understanding of how human biology, systems and materials behave under different gravitational conditions.
