We’re not *always* weightless on the @Space_Station.

Nice! To check later calculations from the video, how much thrust is involved?

Phenomenal physics demo! Love it! 😁

That is really cool and simple explanation
This is so cool. If you live in Summit NJ the space station will fly right over us at 9:50pm tonight. Get outside and look up. It’s a cool sight.
Do you have to plan experiments that depend on zero G so they aren't running at the time of these reboosts?

Is it really possible to create temporary gravity with space shuttles rotating at a certain speed like in the movies?

I've always wondered how much force those burns create! Shocked by how much less it is than i imagined.

This is an amazing demo of acceleration--and Newton's Laws of Motion--during an ISS reboost. A great STEM demo for our ARISS youth! Thanks @Astro_Woody!!
Too bad that you can't use this video in a physics class because at some point he says "the direction of the velocity vector" but it should be "the direction of the acceleration vector". Which of course happen to be the same in this case, but still... Students get confused.
