This project aims to construct a realistic planetary model, replicating geological layers from the core to the crust, to study planetary formation, internal dynamics, and gravitational behavior in a controlled vacuum environment. The model will feature a metallic core, a mantle with simulated convection dynamics, and a crust with realistic rock compositions, designed to mimic natural planetary structures.

Testing within a vacuum chamber will simulate deep-space conditions, allowing for the analysis of thermal gradients, structural integrity, and geophysical phenomena. Additionally, this experiment will serve as a platform for testing gravitational theories, including how mass distribution, density variations, and core composition affect localized gravitational fields. By incorporating precise instrumentation, researchers will measure microgravity interactions, rotational effects, and potential gravitational anomalies within the model.

This research could enhance our understanding of planetary evolution, interior mechanics, and the fundamental principles of gravity, contributing valuable insights into planetary formation, exoplanet studies, and even space exploration technologies.
