Airbus Designs a Space Station with Artificial Gravity

The International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth every 20 years, with astronauts continuously on board. Some of their missions have lasted as long as a year, showing weightlessness's effect on the human body. To truly live and work in space for years, we'll need an artificial gravity system to help astronauts protect their bone and muscle mass and prevent other issues like vision loss. Airbus released new designs for a new space station called LOOP, a multi-purpose orbital module with many features, including a centrifuge to give astronauts artificial gravity.
