  • Title: Concept of new tool to simulate human physiological reactions in microgravity.
    Author: Kondrachuk AV, Gulyar SA.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 1995; 2(1):P109-10. PubMed ID: 11538886.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a new tool for weightlessness simulation--the Acceleration-Immersion Imitator of Sensation of Microgravity (AIISM), which aims to incorporate the otolithic input, the unloading of proprioceptors, and the fluid shifts that occur in microgravity. The facility is a kind of centrifuge chamber filled with water. The workings of the facility are described as well as the way the chamber simulates microgravity conditions.
