Train bodies for Uranus‑class missions
Compact, centrifuge‑assisted exercise modules that simulate gravity in space - so travelers maintain muscle mass and bone density with yoga, strength, and mobility work during transit.
Centrifuge Exercise Module (CEM)
Visualization: Uranus-like axial tilt (~98°) with counter-rotating rings.
Mission
Keep crews expedition‑ready on long‑duration missions by integrating gravity‑assisted movement into daily protocols - yoga, mobility, and resistance training designed for microgravity.
Why now
Commercial spaceflight is accelerating. We need compact, energy‑efficient countermeasures that normal travelers can use without months of astronaut training.
Outcomes
Maintain muscle mass, preserve bone mineral density, and improve vestibular adaptation - while reducing crew time, mass, and power over traditional devices.
How it works
A short‑arm centrifuge creates a controllable artificial gravity field (ac = r·ω²) at the user’s center of mass. By varying radius r and angular velocity ω, the module delivers profiles from lunar‑like (~0.16 g) to Mars‑like (~0.38 g) up to partial‑g for progressive loading.

FAQ
Why “The Uranus Project”?
It’s a nod to exploration beyond Uranus - a reminder to design for the long journey, not just the next stop.
Why “Uranus”?
Uranus spins on its side - unlike any other planet in the solar system. We take the same sideways approach to space fitness, bringing innovative yoga practices to microgravity to keep crews strong and healthy.
Only for astronauts?
No. The system targets future civilian travelers and commercial crews, with protocols that scale across fitness levels.
Motion sickness?
Gradual spin ramps, counter‑rotation cooldowns, and gaze stabilization cues reduce vestibular load. Protocols adapt in real time to individual tolerance.
When can I try it?
Join the waitlist above. Early testers are invited during the Alpha prototype phase.
Does it need power or can it be manual?
Core motion is powered for precise g‑profiles, but emergency/manual modes let you use the module with minimal power-resistance options still provide meaningful training in contingency scenarios.
