<P> A rotating wheel space station is a hypothetical wheel - shaped space station that rotates about its axis, thus creating an environment of artificial gravity . Occupants of the station would experience centripetal acceleration according to the following equation, </P> <Dl> <Dd> a = − ω 2 r (\ displaystyle a = - \ omega ^ (2) r) </Dd> </Dl>
