Aims:
1) Optimize power supply and compactness to ensure untethered movement within the
space station/Orion capsule during 6-8 hours’ continuous use of the Suit.
2) Increase safety by adding a second level of safety to turn off the vacuum pump.
3) Quantify range of motion, ground reaction forces, muscle activation, fluid shifts,
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular responses during simulated microgravity cross-over
trial with and without use of the Gravity Suit.
4) Temperature and humidity inside the suit (internal environment) and effect on
surroundings (external environment).
