Abstract:
A system, method, and apparatus are described for providing a reduced or modulated gravity environment in a land-based facility. The system includes the evaluation of terrain and man-made structures to support a vertical vehicle guide, the construction of a vehicle guide, the provision of a vehicle and a control system adapted to control a motion of the vehicle up and down along the vehicle guide with a specific velocity profile so as to produce a selected modulated gravity environment. The same apparatus can also be used as a vehicle launching method.
