Space missions require systems and habitats that provide a comfortable environment for humans during long-duration missions with high physical and mental stress. To address these challenges, astronauts must train in analog stations that faithfully replicate the conditions they will face and that include a life-support system designed with comfort criteria, such as air supply and…
Over the past decade, aerospace research in Latin America has experienced significant growth, reflecting both regional priorities and global scientific integration. This study presents a systematic bibliometric analysis of 23,689 peer-reviewed articles from the Scopus database (2014-2024) to map the thematic and methodological trends shaping the region’s aerospace research landscape. Results reveal a consistent upward…
Simulating microgravity conditions on Earth is essential for advancing the study of fluid dynamics and related physical processes in space-like environments. Traditional methods for achieving microgravity, such as drop towers and parabolic flights, are often prohibitively expensive and technically complex. This study introduces Graviit, an innovative acoustic levitation system specifically designed to simulate microgravity within…
