Up to four test candidates can be accelerated simultaneously at up to 6G on the ends of the centrifuge arms, providing unique conditions for experiments; these include developing training measures for astronauts to remain in a microgravity environment for prolonged periods. Complex sequences of movements in hypergravity can be recorded with high precision while remotely operated medical experiments are conducted. Doctors continuously monitor the test subjects during experiments on the centrifuge.
