One of the advantages of placing the Translife mission on board someone else's spacecraft is that momentum control and the like becomes the ISS problem.  While the momentum of a spinning centrifuge may seem high, the station can handle it.  What likely happens for short periods of time, there are momentum wheels that absorb momentum for a while, then thrusters fire to dump any additional.  There are other ways to do it, but this is the most common.
