Centrifuge 8G

In his latest video diary, ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen is back at Star City where he takes a spin in the centrifuge as part of the training for his mission to the International Space Station. In the centrifuge Andreas gets to experience 4G and 8G - a ballistic reentry profile.
Andreas is currently training for his 10-day Iriss mission to the International Space Station, set for launch in September 2015.

He makes 8gs looks easy.... what a champ

[@Krygeryo]

bigky226 Well he has viking blood. Of course he nailed it.

[@bobalobalie]

It is easy. Well...... with that centrifuge it is easy. The forces are being placed on his chest which would coincide with the forces in a launch. It doesn't take any straining to stay conscience since the blood isn't being pulled from the brain or pushed towards the brain. There is no chance of becoming unconscious. This is not the same as the forces jet pilots experience in a jet mockup centrifuge which has the g-force against their head pushing blood away from the brain.

[@Andrew0you0tube]

bigky226 That's because it was horizontal 8g, the vertical one would have him blacked out.

[@AdolfHitler-bt6kh]

bigky226 those are not +GZ ... with that quite attitude he would have g locked at 3 g

[@beebit_]

BewareTheIdes it ain’t « easy » at all. And the seats in planes adjust when the plane goes up or down (the situations where apparent weight changes), so the blood stays in the brain.

[@Anglovox]

Crazy....I am impressed....This guy experienced 8Gs as if he was watching TV at home after work...super-human

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

Hes laying on his back feets up. Makes a big difference compared if you sit like in fighter jets.

8 G ????

[@NikolayKrasilnikov812]

European Space Agency, ESA Heavy, but very useful exercise. This is CF-7 (ЦФ-7), it can create an overload up to 20g. Also in Star City, there is another centrifuge - CF-18 (ЦФ-18), with a maximum overload of 30g. Although current requirements for physical preparation is lower than for space pioneers, it is still very heavy testing, so we can only admire the strength and perseverance of cosmonauts / astronauts. You are great!

[@auron663]

***** yes 8G!

WHY DID HE NOT HAVE TO STRAIN & USE THE HICK MANEUVER WHEN ENDURING 8G's?????

[@hd-sf9li]

Now I feel bad for my kerbals, which regularly go through 60+G’s.

[@alfiej6014]

Are any of them called Romain Grojean?

I'm sure one of them is called John Stapp or Eli Beeding

[@Hapidjus_]

It must be pretty creppy to be inside that thing for the first time. Andreas seems to be a really nice guy. I hope he continues with his videos throughout the training and onbaord of the ISS.

[@joshuamoreno2694]

[@camilserapian7675]

Look how amazing it is to become an astronaut 👏👏👏

Handled like a boss!

I'm not sure I can evaluate properly , but You have kept your cool so KUDOS !

[@sprsae9003]

Is there any way for me to try this? Seems amazing!

[@loicds4776]

I would love to know how it feels to be spinned until reaching 8G ! :)

[@WarbirdPhoenix]

How fitting that it looks like a headache pill,I know I would need two when I wake up after blacking out. lol

I would like to experience the 8 g force too.

How long did the training last please?

[@slevinshafel9395]

what speed get? I mean he can get to 300km/h at 1G spending time or rich the 300km/ in less time but more G like 9G true?

Don’t u feel dizzy?

[@mustaqimalfarabi8082]

How that machine create 8G ? If 1G is 10m/s, then 8G is at 80m/s, while i dont see any significan acceleration. Was it something other mechanical thing?

[@francostellini1082]

..... SUPER SUPER !!!!!

[@astratheprotogen1802]

Pats Sock bro same

[@tatianatub]

i would like to know what 8 g feels like

[@NikolayKrasilnikov812]

ashley beaumont It's pretty easy, just jump with a parachute. At the time of opening the parachute after free flight arises short-term overload up to 10 g (depending on model).

[@cravinghibiscus7901]

Nikolay Krasilnikov This is a long duration 8G though. A short high G overload is manageable, but for long durations like a re-entry, the effect is far greater.

[@cpzlcu]

ashley beaumont you don't wanna know.

[@tatianatub]

cpzlcu i knida do

[@Nilguiri]

Nikolay Krasilnikov You feel a strong tug for a second or so. It normally momentarily reaches between around 3 to 6G (from a nice soft opening to a fairly hardish opening) or so but can vary greatly depending on how you pack the parachute, how the slider is positioned, the size and design of the parachute, your weight, etc. 10G is not impossible, but that would probably be quite a painful deployment and you'd better have a decent harness to cushion it! If you remove the slider altogether you will probably get around 12G or even a bone shattering 18G, so that's not a good idea unless you're doing a low base jump with a low velocity opening. The feeling is nothing like a prolonged 8 or 10g session in a centrifuge or on reentry. The closest I ever came to that was in one of those rides at the fairground like an enormous spin drier where you get stuck to the wall and the ground falls away. I nearly died in there and it probably didn't even reach 3G! It was a horrible experience! I can't imagine what several seconds or even minutes of 8 or 10G would be like - it must be horrific! Give me skydiving any day.

[@whiterottenrabbit]

Мужик!

[@dtiydr]

Why doesnt he g-lock?

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

+dtiydr Because the g-force is towards his back rather than to the feet so the blood doesn't drain from his brain.

[@dtiydr]

Mark Oglesby Aha I was sure it was internally moved to the same position as they test fighter pilots so I thought what the hell. But ok then it all made sense.

[@otwdpodcast]

I don’t get it.

[@calibranese]

Jesus how strong are your lungs

[@bruceharris4643]

Ha ... 8 transverse "g" instead of 8 radial "g". That's baby stuff! Make it 8 radial and he would be unconscious in a puddle of sweat!

[@bruceharris4643]

Ironium You bet. The best way to explain "transverse g" is that it is the force you feel when you are sitting in your car, at a stop, and then floor the gas peddle. The more powerful your car, the faster it accelerates forward , and the more you feel yourself pushed into the seat. That's "transverse g" you are feeling. It doesn't effect the blood flow to your brain, so you can remain conscious being pushed back easily with over 15 times the force acting on you when you are sitting still. This is the same force acting on an astronaut at launch as his acceleration direction relative to his seating position is the same, with the force coming from front to back. "Radial g", on the other hand, acts on the body from top to bottom (positive radial g). That one is hard for us to duplicate here on the ground. You can think of it as "turning g", where "transverse g" is "straight forward g". It is the force you feel when you ride a high speed roller coaster and it makes a fast, hard turn. You feel yourself pushed down into your seat. As you turn harder, the blood is literally pulled from your brain, and for the untrained, about 4 times normal g (gravity) is all you can survive before you pass out from lack of blood flow to the brain. Pilots feel "radial g" typically in turns and pull ups. I hope this helps.

[@bruceharris4643]

Ironium All of the centrifuges are designed to subject the occupant to positive radial g. The gondolas are gimbaled to put the occupant's body in line with the rotation arm of the centrifuge ... with his/her head towards the hub of the arm. The "g" force increases with the increase of the rpm of the arm. There are no "transverse g" simulators anymore, that I'm unaware of, as it's not really a factor. Initially, studies were done with regard to "transverse g" with rocket sleds. Nothing we do either in aviation or space flight exceeds our natural tolerance to "transverse g" As a Navy carrier pilot, I found the high "transverse g" I was subjected to during a catapult launch to be really fun. For some really interesting reading on the subject try: history.nasa.gov/afspbio/part5-4.htm.

[@ThePrissyMommyLife]

+Bruce Harris AWESOME Explanation!!!! Just Subbed to you for that!! Great Job!! And Thank You!!

I was gonna say it looked like the force was coming at him not forcing him down.
