# Artificial Gravity

Rotating spacecraft or habitats to simulate gravity through centripetal force
- Technology Readiness Level: 5/9
- Impact: 5/5
- Investment: 4/5
Artificial gravity uses centripetal acceleration (rotation) to simulate gravity for spacecraft and habitats. Research and development; spin gravity concepts for long-duration missions. Applications: space travel, orbital habitats. Challenges include radius (for tolerable gradient), engineering, and physiological adaptation.
