Currently, various microgravity environments are being developed for the development of new materials and the analysis of physical phenomena. However, existing microgravity generation methods have problems such as high cost for microgravity experiment. Therefore, we have proposed a system with low cost which relaxes on restrictions an experimental site. The proposed system realizes a microgravity environment by dropping the capsule, accelerating with a ducted fan, and taking control of air resistance force into control. In this report, the proposed microgravity environment system is modeled by the use of multibody dynamics and derives the torque for stabilizing the attitude of the system. In addition, the effectiveness of the model and the control system are verified by conducting numerical analysis and verification experiment using the derived equation.
