Artificial gravity

Japanese: 人工重力 - じんこうじゅうりょく(英語表記)artificial gravity
Artificial gravity
Gravity is an artificial force created in a weightless world such as that inside a spaceship. On September 14, 1966, the American Gemini 11 created artificial gravity for the first time by spinning an unmanned Agena around on a 30m rope. The centrifugal force created by the rotation acts as artificial gravity. Being in a weightless state for an extended period of time can weaken the activity of the heart and cause problems such as calcium leaking into the blood, so artificial gravity is necessary for long periods of life in a space station or for manned interplanetary flights.

宇宙船の中のような無重量の世界で,人工的につくりだされる重力のこと。 1966年9月 14日,アメリカのジェミニ 11号は,無人のアジェナを長さ 30mのロープで結んでぐるぐる回転させ,初めて人工重力をつくり出した。回転によって生じた遠心力が人工重力となって働くからである。長期間,無重量状態におかれると,心臓の活動が弱まり,カルシウムが血液中に流れ出すなどの障害が起るので,宇宙ステーション内での長い生活や,有人惑星間飛行などでは,人工重力をつくる必要がある。
