Artificial gravity

Artificial gravity is a group of systems which are designed to mimic the gravity of a planet in an artificial environment, such as on starships and space stations, and allow working to be easier. Artificial gravity systems were first developed on Earth in the 1990s, and were installed on the SS Botany Bay and cryonic satellites. (TOS episode: "Space Seed"; TNG episode: "The Neutral Zone").

Artificial gravity failures
Following an attack in 2293, the artificial gravity systems aboard the Klingon vessel, Kronos One, failed. This resulted in the crew experiencing weightlessness until the systems were restored, unfortunately assassins used this opportunity to beam aboard and assassinate Chancellor Gorkon. (TOS movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country).
