An apparatus (1) for generating microgravity comprising: a first rotating body (12) for rotating around a first shaft (12a), actuated by first actuation means (24), a means (60) for housing a sample circumscribed in the first rotating body (12), a second rotating body (11) for rotating around a second shaft (11a) actuated by second actuation means (23) and disposed in the interior of a volume delimited by the second rotating body (11), a third rotating body (10) for rotating around a third shaft (10a) actuated by third actuation means (21, 22) and disposed in the interior of a volume delimited by the third rotating body (10). The first, second and third actuation means are independent from each other, the rotation of each shaft being independent from the rotation of the other shafts. The rotation of said rotating bodies generates a level of simulated microgravity in the means for housing a sample. The apparatus comprises processing means for controlling the rotation of each shaft through the application, in each shaft, of a pseudo-random value of rotation speed during a pseudo-random time value, achieving an instability effect to prevent the sample housed in said means from adapting to the simulated microgravity generated by the apparatus (1).
