Methods for simulation of microgravity are described: parabolic flight, ballistic rockets, aircraft and drop towers. Effectiveness for spacecraft design is evaluated. Atmospheric resistance effects, and tidal and rotation effects are indicated for each method. Sensitivity of experiments to accelerations is discussed.
