Abstract
The presence of prolonged microgravity in space has long been known to
have a negative impact on the human body such as deterioration of bones and
muscles. Rotating space platforms have the potential to mitigate the health
risks for prolonged space travel by creating an Earth-like artificial gravity
environment for the habitants. In this article, Tigran Mkhoyan elaborates
on his presentation in the ‘Artificial Gravity’ segment of October’s Asgardia
Space Science & Investment Congress (ASIC).
