Abstract To achieve nano -g environment on the Orbiter or Space Station a floating table is proposed. With precise control of the initial release conditions, float times of many minutes can be expected before touching a wall. The use of small thrusters available on the spacecraft to fly the station around the floating table would allow experiment times of many hours.
