Harry Coumnas is a young astronaut all set to create earth-like gravity in space. Post his first Mars mission in 2010, he talked about the need for the creation of artificial gravity during many of his interviews. “An astronaut returning to Earth after a space mission does his best to smile for the cameras but struggles to stand. After spending months in zero gravity, many are not even able to walk steadily. There is also a reduction in bone density, loss of muscle & vision, difficulty with balance, sleep deprivation. It also affects the functioning of the immune system and cardiovascular system.” he was quoted as saying during one of his interviews to a leading radio channel.

Harry Coumnas has always seen the absence of gravity in space as a threat to future space missions. To eliminate this problem, he has been working to create artificial gravity from the last five years. During his recent interaction with the media, he stated that he has discovered an effective method for creating artificial gravity. While sharing the details, he said that by using a rotating system (such as a rotating cylinder, sphere, or torus) on a space station, the same effect can be achieved as the gravity. However, there are a certain parameters that need to be adjusted first, like the radius & rotation rate of the space station, etc.
