Abstract
The following thesis discusses a possible method of studying microgravity effects using a microgravity simulator: the Random Positioning Machine. Furthermore, the study intended to verify the RPM performance on both a biological and mechanical level. The RPM was tested to ensure that it accurately simulated a microgravity environment appropriate for planarians and in order to find the characteristics of the machine that would best simulate this condition. The study and validation of the Random Positioning Machine are crucial for its continued use. It establishes the RPM as a reliable microgravity simulator, providing a scientific foundation for future research and rigorous investigation in the field of microgravity.
The Random Positioning Machines represent one of the most widely used laboratory tools to simulate microgravity, it is a device consisting of two frames, thus with two axes of rotation perpendicular to each other, which rotate at a constant speed by randomly varying the direction of rotation
