China built an artificial moon

Chinese scientists from the University of Mining and Technology have built a special chamber that mimics the moon's low gravity. The facility is designed to study the behavior of small objects in low gravity.

This is reported by the South China Morning Post.

The prototype is a round chamber with a diameter of sixty centimeters. It is known that the force of gravity on the Moon is about six times less than on Earth. The ability to test devices and processes in low gravity will help reduce the number of unpredictable incidents that occur during real lunar missions. flight in an aircraft in free fall mode. The new development of scientists can significantly expand the possibilities of science in studying the effects of low gravity.
