Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Gravitational Biology
  • Embryology

Background:

  • The role of gravity in embryonic development remains poorly understood.
  • Earth's 1g background complicates critical gravitational research.
  • Defining gravity's influence on developing embryos is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between developing embryos and gravitational fields.
  • To explore the subtle influence of gravity as an environmental input during development.
  • To attempt a unifying theory on gravitational effects on embryonic development.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized three primary research tools: centrifuges, clinostats, and orbiting spacecraft.
  • Conducted experiments on diverse embryonic materials (plant and animal).

Related Experiment Videos
