Artificial gravity is a simulation of gravity in outer space or free-fall. Artificial gravity is desirable for long-term space travel for ease of mobility and to avoid the adverse health effects of weightlessness. Artificial gravity could be created in two ways: rotation or acceleration. The spacecraft could rotate so that anything inside will be forced toward the outside by centrifugal force. It would take a large amount of energy to rotate a spacecraft at the appropriate speed. The spacecraft could also continuously accelerate in a straight line, forcing objects inside the spacecraft in the opposite direction of the direction of acceleration. In an Earth orbit a small artificial gravity can be obtained from the tidal force, by two spacecrafts above each other (or one spacecraft and another mass), connected by a tether. See also Space_tether#Tidal_stabilization. Artificial gravity by rotation has the following side effects: *Coriolis effect *gravity gradients across the spacecraft *weight changes with angular movement The Mars Gravity Biosatellite will study the effect of artificial gravity on mammals. An artificial gravity field of of 0.38''g'' (Mars gravity) will be produced by rotation (34 rpm, radius of ca. 30 cm). Fifteen mice will orbit Earth for five weeks and land alive. ==Fiction== [[image:2001 movie poster.jpg|thumb|The film poster from the original release of ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' features a rotating space station.

Also, in science fiction artificial gravity is sometimes present in spacecraft that are neither rotating nor accelerating. It is not possible with current technology to create artificial gravity of this type, although a similar effect can be created through diamagnetism, but it would involve avoiding any non-diamagnetic materials near the strong magnetic field required for diamagnetism to be evident.
