Humans in Space with the Man Vehicle Lab
Learn about new spacesuit designs for future moon and Mars missions. See a “skinsuit” for astronaut exercise. Discover how we protect space-suited astronauts from injury. Visit our human-size centrifuge, which we use to develop ways to protect astronauts from the effects of space on their muscles, bones, and heart. Take a tour of the motion capture lab and learn how human motion can be measured for characterizing human performance, designing monitoring system, and developing assistive robotic exosuits.
