Human Centrifuge

This site is no longer available to visit. I called ahead as indicated in the description and spoke to Mike. His facility is closed for at least the next year (I spoke to him on 31 August 2015). He was quite nice, but would like to not receive so many phone calls.

Human Centrifuge Gondola (#2)

A human centrifuge from the space program is located at 300 East Bristol Road. It's on a concrete platform next to a beige windowless building that looks like a box. Sign next to road says: "Anechoic Chamber Applied Research Laboratory."
