Descriptor English: Weightlessness
Descriptor Spanish: Ingravidez
Descriptor ingravidez
Entry term(s) gravedad cero
microgravedad
Scope note: Condición en la que un observador dentro de un sistema no puede detectar aceleración, tanto debido a la gravedad como a cualquier otra fuerza. También significa una ausencia de peso o ausencia de la fuerza de gravedad actuando sobre un cuerpo. En este concepto se incluye la microgravedad, una fuerza gravitacional comprendida entre 0 y 10 -6 g. (NASA Thesaurus, 1988)
