Abstract
An insect may be one of the most useful and convenient organisms for use in space biology. When the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster Meigen was reared through two generations in a centrifuge where it was subjected to a continuous force of 10 times gravity (10 G), the time required to develop from egg to adult was only slightly longer than at normal earth gravitation, but there was a reduced yield of insects.
