Pressure sensing for in-suit measurement of space suited biomechanics

Acta Astronautica, 2015
Abstract Extravehicular Activity (EVA) is a critical component of human spaceflight, but working in gas-pressurized space suits causes fatigue, excessive energy expenditure, and injury. Relatively little is known about how the astronaut moves and interacts with the space suit, and what factors lead to injury.

EVA suit 2000: A joint European/Russian space suit design

Acta Astronautica, 1995
A feasibility study in 1992 showed the benefits of a common European Russian space suit development, EVA Suit 2000, replacing the Russian space suit Orlan-DMA and the planned European Hermes EVA space suit at the turn of the century. This EVA Suit 2000 is a joint development initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian Space Agency (RKA)

Suited for Space Life

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1967
in the monitoring station reflected my image throughout all three centrifuge runs. I was unaware that the personnel in data acquisition, located in a nearby building, were recording all communications on electromagnetic tape. In the centrifuge, I diligently concentrated on performing a psychomotor test.

The EVA space suit development in Europe

Acta Astronautica, 1994
The progress of the European EVA space suit predevelopment activities has resulted in an improved technical reference concept, which will form the basis for a start of the Phase C/D development work in 1992. Technology development work over the last 2 years has resulted in a considerable amount of test data and a better understanding of the ...

V-SUIT - An Approach Towards a Virtual Space Suit

42nd International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2012
The dynamic life support system (LSS) simulation software Virtual Habitat (V-HAB) has been under development at the Technische Universitat Munchen since 2006. V-HAB allows the dynamic simulation of habitat life support systems and their interaction with a human model, as well the environment of the habitat.

A new spin on space suits

IEEE Spectrum, 2015
An astronaut uses the thrusters on her space suit to propel herself toward a nearby asteroid. With great care, she gets as close and as steady as she can in preparation for knocking a few samples off the surface. But with very little gravity to anchor her, the strike of her hammer throws her backward in an uncontrolled tumble.
