	UBC grad takes UBC technology into space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Astronaut Bjarni Tryggvason, a UBC Engineering Physics grad, is orbiting the earth in the space shuttle Discovery, which blasted off from Florida Aug. 7.
		Tryggvason first met with Salcudean in the early 1990s after hearing about his research in magnetics from UBC Engineering Physics Lab Director Harold Davis, with whom Tryggvason had been working on large-motion vibration isolation.
		Tryggvason was trying to find ways to prevent vibrations on the space shuttle from having an impact on zero-gravity experiments, such as those involving fluid flow, crystal growth and metal alloy development.

		For Bjarni, it's to practice his research experiments because he doesn't even take motion sickness pills - he's never been sick.
		As the aircraft slows down to 260 knots, the pilot noses the plane over into an arc and it's during this arc that weightlessness or microgravity is created.
		Bjarni is testing his Microgravity Isolation Mount (MIM), a new technology he developed, which reduces the shaking in a spacecraft's environment when running experiments in space.

	Zero-gravity research in space tricky to achieve, says Canadian astronaut - ExpressNews - University of Alberta
		Tryggvason is a Canadian Space Agency astronaut who was selected as one of the six original Canadian astronauts in 1984.
		The effects of gravity are felt by the space station and the experiments within it, Tryggvason noted, adding that "zero-gravity" is a misnomer.
		In his view, this is because there hasn't been enough time invested in the projects, and because the fundamental science needs to be explored before the applications of the science.
