Home > Centrifuge Accommodations Module
The Centrifuge Accommodations Module (CAM) of the International Space Station provides controlled gravity for experiments and the capability to:- Expose a variety of biological specimens to artifical gravity levels between 0.01g and 2g.
- Simultaneously provide two different artifical gravity levels.
- Provide partial g and hyper g environment for specimens to investigate altered gravity effects and g-thresholds.
- Provide short duration and partial g and hyper g environment for specimens to investigate temporal effects of gravity exposure.
- Provide Earth simulation environment on ISS to isolate microgravity effects on specimens.
- Provide Earth simulation environment on ISS to allow specimens to recover from microgravity effects.
- Provide in situ 1g controls for specimens in micro-gravity.
The CAM attaches to Node 2 of the ISS.
