Abstract:

A transparent plastic sack has been devised for surgical interventions in space. Fixed airtight on the patient, containing sterilized medical equipment and comprising long sleeves for the operations, it retains all its contents for the rest of the flight.

Weightlessness

When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of the Earth. If the net external force on the object is its weight, it is said to be in free fall; that is, the only force acting on the object is gravity. Galileo was instrumental in showing that, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration g. However, when objects on the Earth fall downward, they are never truly in free fall, because there is always some upward resistance force from the air acting...
