Original Note:
Vacuum chambers do not simulate the effects of microgravity (freefall) that are experienced in orbit. Even with most of the air pressure removed inside a vacuum chamber, Earth's surface gravity is still present. https://www.wired.com/2014/11/dropping-objects-worlds-largest-vacuum-chamber/ https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/177049/does-gravity-exist-in-a-vacuum https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/facilities/zero-g/
