Flywheel device tested on parabolic flights in Canada
The flywheel is the training device selected by NASA to help the astronauts of the early Artemis missions (at least through Artemis V) to stay in shape. It was tested by the Canadian Space Agency aboard the National Research Council's Falcon-20 airplane during a parabolic flight campaign at the Montreal Metropolitan Airport in Longueuil, Quebec. CSA's Exercise Specialist Yannick Laflamme is one of the four people who tested the device in microgravity.
Parabolic flights are a cost-effective way to test technologies and conduct science experiments in microgravity using airplanes. (Credit: Canadian Space Agency)
