(a) The crate was dropped from 12 m for a low-g (almost) free-fall flight in air of 1.4 s. A 1.3-m-high stack of mattresses was used to reduce deceleration on impact (Supplementary Movie 1). (b) The source crate was installed in one of the centrifuge gondolas at a distance of about 3 m from the axis, at full speed. The orientation of the accelerometer reference frame are shown when the centrifuge is at rest and in motion (Supplementary Movie 2).
