A workstation for microgravity environments is provided that prevents objects from floating around inside a spacecraft. The workstation includes a downdraft table that has a plenum chamber with an inlet and an outlet. A fan is disposed in the plenum chamber for drawing air into the plenum via the inlet, and exhausting air from the plenum via the outlet. A metal grate is disposed across the inlet, and an air resistive stack is disposed on an outer side of the metal grate. The air resistive stack includes an inner resistive layer disposed on the metal grate and an outer resistive layer disposed on the inner layer. The workstation improves a user's ability to perform many activities in a microgravity environment.
