The Centrifuge at Goddard Space Flight Center. In this
picture, a Hubble instrument is about to
be tested (on tilt table to the left of the picture).
This massive facility can be spun at up to 20 rpm, leading
to a speed of about 100 mph at the ends. The hardware
then experiences 15 G's of acceleration. For scale,
note
the test technician standing on the movable platform.
