  • Centrifugal sleeping section for a space craft
    Patent number: 6523782
    Abstract: A system for providing a simulated gravitational environment in a weightless or low gravity environment to enable a person to be in different physical positions, such as a rest/sleep position, a more upright position, a sitting position, and other positions. There is a support platform or platforms mounted to a support structure for rotation about a main axis of a base structure. The platform is movable about a transverse axis to various positions relative to the simulated gravitational force so that the person can transition from different positions either while sleeping or being awake.
