Satellite map of Japan Microgravity Centre
Japan Microgravity Centre (JAMIC) is a site for microgravity experiments at a 710 metres deep abandoned coal mine at Kamisunagawa, Hokkaido. A capsule is dropped from the top to simulate "zero gravity". Jets accelerate the capsule to counteract air resistance. At the bottom, the capsule is slowed down with gradual deceleration.
