if there is no gravity force, the pendulum  will not move at all, i.e. its period is  ∞. so we know: the weaker the gravity,  the slower the pendulum or the  larger its period. therefore when the  pendulum is carried to the space, its  period will increase, because the  gravity there is less intensiv than on  the earth′s surface.
