This project marked the beginning of a new era in studying how genes behave under microgravity conditions. Thanks to this breakthrough, doors were opened to revolutionary discoveries in space science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-2ea4c6b13187e11a56cf7ee4025449a4\"><strong>A.1.

Thanks to this simulation, the power and size of the motors were determined, as well as the necessary control and power electronics. A network of sensors was also designed to monitor the cultures, along with a special plate that keeps the cells in a stable environment, preventing turbulence caused by the machine\u2019s movement.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tmSyCluL8Es\"> Microgravity Simulator Video:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Simulation of a microgravity machine for cell cultures\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tmSyCluL8Es?feature=oembed\" name=\"fitvid0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a372b0c74abae4e9551ad27a44ba32dc\"><strong>A.2.
