NASA - What Is Microgravity?
The condition of microgravity comes about whenever an object is in free fall that is, it falls faster and faster, accelerating with exactly the
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/research/microgex.html

Extractions: Many people mistakenly think that there is no gravity above the Earth's atmosphere, i.e., in "space," and this is why there appears to be no gravity aboard orbiting spacecraft. Typical orbital altitudes for human spaceflight vary between 120 - 360 miles (192 to 576 km) above the surface of the Earth. The gravitational field is still quite strong in these regions, since this is only about 1.8% the distance to the Moon. The Earth's gravitational field at about 250 miles (400 km) above the surface maintains 88.8% of its strength at the surface. Therefore, orbiting spacecraft, like the Space Shuttle or Space Station, are kept in orbit around the Earth by gravity. The nature of gravity was first described by Sir Isaac Newton, more than 300 years ago. Gravity is the attraction between any two masses, most apparent when one mass is very large (like the Earth). The acceleration of an object toward the ground caused by gravity alone, near the surface of the Earth, is called normal gravity, or 1g. This acceleration is equal to 32.2 ft/sec

Michael Foale can be seen exercising in the foreground Weightlessness is experienced by people during free-fall . Although the term ' zero gravity ' is often used as a synonym, weightlessness in orbit is not the result of gravity itself being eliminated or even reduced significantly (in fact, the acceleration towards earth due to gravity at an altitude of 100 km is only 3% less than at the earth's surface.) Weightlessness (roughly speaking) occurs when a body (e.g. a person) is: falling freely; in orbit; in outer space (far from a planet, star, or other massive body); in an airplane following a particular parabolic flight path (e.g. the " Vomit Comet "); or one of several other (even more unusual) frames of reference.

http://science.howstuffworks.com/weightlessness.htm

Extractions: We have often seen pictures of astronauts floating around inside the space shuttle International Space Station or Mir . While weightlessness looks like fun, it places great demands on your body. Initially, you feel nauseated, dizzy and disoriented. Your head and sinuses swell and your legs shrink. In the long term, your muscles weaken and your bones become brittle. These effects on your body could do severe damage on a long voyage, such as a trip to Mars In this edition of HowStuffWorks , we'll take you on an extended journey aboard the International Space Station, where we will examine what weightlessness is, what happens to your body, how these changes come about and what can be done to prevent or reverse these adverse effects.

Extractions: Microgravity Science Overview W elcome to NASA's newest science!! Astronomy is thousands of years old, and began when the first human stared out into space. Chemistry is centuries old, with many of its origins in "alchemy," the attempt to turn lead into gold. Unlike these two science areas, microgravity science is in its infancy. Born of the space age, the first space experiments in microgravity science were carried out only 30 years ago. Our 16 years of research in microgravity science on the space shuttle is therefore just a first step in growing a vibrant and exciting science to generate new knowledge. N ASA has a mission to advance and communicate scientific knowledge and understanding about: This third part of our mission at NASA is microgravity science. We use the unique environment of space, with its near-absence of the effects of gravity, to perform science research that cannot be done anywhere else. What does "Microgravity" mean anyway?

Extractions: MCL is a NASA-funded research facility in the Department Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley , aiming at studying the potential onset of fire in environments encountered in spacecraft. The research goals are to better understand and predict material flammability, combustion products, and other fire-safety related phenomena in reduced gravity environments. Research focuses on experimental investigation, theoretical analysis and computational simulations. Some of the experiments are conducted in microgravity facilities, including drop towers, parabolic flights, Space Shuttle and in the future in the International Space Station. The objective of this project is to predict smoldering and the transition to flaming of foams, composite and cellulose materials in conditions expected in space based facilities. It includes experiments in normal gravity and in microgravity the latter will be conducted aboard the International Space Station.

http://quest.nasa.gov/smore/background/microgravity/MGintro3.html

Extractions: In a practical sense, microgravity can be achieved with a number of technologies, each depending upon the act of free fall. Drop towers and drop tubes are high-tech versions of the elevator analogy presented in a previous section. The large version of these facilities is essentially a hole in the ground. Drop towers accommodate large experiment packages, generally using a drop shield to contain the package and isolate the experiment from aerodynamic drag during free fall in the open environment. NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio has a 145-meter drop tower facility that begins on the surface and descends into Earth like a mine shaft. The test section of the facility is 6.1 meters in diameter and 132 meters deep. Beneath the test section is a catch basin filled with polystyrene beads. The 132-meter drop creates a microgravity environment for a period of 5.2 seconds. To begin a drop experiment, the experiment apparatus is placed in either a cylindrical or rectangular test vehicle that can carry experiment loads of up to 450 kilograms. The vehicle is suspended from a cap that encloses the upper end of the facility. Air is pumped out of the facility until a vacuum of 10

Extractions: Who doesn't love rollercoasters? We could spend days on them! Your stomach jumps into your throat and you feel like you're floating. That feeling is weightlessness, which is kind of like what astronauts feel in space. Astronauts call it microgravity, because during the fall you feel only a tiny amount of gravity's pull. We wondered: how do ordinary things behave in microgravity? We searched NASA's Web site and found a way to test what microgravity is like. We made a "drop box" from a regular plastic storage container. We dropped it over a ledge and into an inflatable swimming pool. The height of the ledge was about 5 meters, enough to give us about 1 second of microgravity. We put a fizzing seltzer tablet in the drop box to see what happens to bubbles in microgravity. Second, we put a walking wind-up toy in the box, to see what it does. Last, we wondered what it would be like to ride on a swing in space. We put a small swinging pendulum in the box. We had a wireless video camera inside the box so we could see what happened during the drop. We played back the video in slow motion. Before the drop, we saw the fizzy bubbles rising. Then they just stood still during the drop! Bubbles don't float up in microgravity! The walking toy walked like normal during microgravity, although it started to lift up off the floor of the box a little bit, like it was floating. The swinging pendulum was swinging back and forth right before the drop, but then the pendulum swung all the way around in one direction in microgravity.
