Multi-Gravity Simulator (MGS)

The goal of the Multi-Gravity Simulator (MGS) Project is to design and build a classroom sized drop tower. In particular, the project aims at providing a reliable platform for other student projects to conduct experiments in a microgravity environment at a high repetition rate and low cost. Furthermore, the system will be able to simulate other gravity conditions such as the ones of the Moon or Mars. The system will be able to host a payload with a volume of 1U (10cm x 10cm x 10cm) and a mass of up to 2 kg. MGS is planning to move quickly with a small team divided into interdisciplinary departments that will work in coordination: Actuators, Capsule, and Mechanical Structure. The drop tower will serve as a technology demonstrator for a larger scale project to be built at LTU as the next iteration and will be used for educational purposes.
