The International Space Station's Centrifuge Accommodation Module will take life on a spin in space to achieve experimental results that can be brought down to life on Earth. Unique among ISS [International Space Station] modules, this one will permit long-term study of the effects of varying gravity levels on the structure and function of generations of living organisms and test methods for countering the negative results of those variations. The Module will house the Centrifuge Facility, a more than 8-ft. diameter centrifuge drum or rotor, and a Gravitational Biology Facility, with racks for holding plants, animals and habitats. 3, record 1, English, - centrifuge%20accommodation%20module

Le «Centrifuge Accommodation Module (CAM)» se présente sous le même gabarit que le laboratoire scientifique, dont il partage la même interface et les mêmes ressources. Le CAM est construit par l'Agence spatiale japonaise (NASDA) sous contrat avec la NASA. Sa fonction, comme son nom l'indique, est d'étudier l'effet de différents niveaux de gravité (de 0,01 g à 2 g) sur la structure et la [physiologie] de plantes ou d'animaux obtenus en microgravité. 2, record 1, French, - module%20de%20centrifugeuse
