- Description
There are several ways to 'switch off' your weight without leaving the Earth's gravity field. They all have in common that an object is in 'free fall', for example in a drop tower, on a parabolic flight, a sounding rocket or on the ISS. This 6:29 minute video provides an overview of these methods and compares their advantages and shortcomings.
