Space exploration
It is an old dream of mankind to overcome the laws of gravity and to be weightless. But in practice this leads to serious problems. Without gravity acting on the human body muscle and bone are decomposed.
To explore these issues and develop solutions that could be used, for example at the International Space Station or on a trip to Mars, we are involved in several projects using our Galileo Space, Leonardo Mechanograpyh and Stratec pQCT systems:
