Title
Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator
Full Description
A test subject being suited up for studies on the Reduced Gravity Walking
Simulator located in the hangar at Langley Research Center. The initial version
of this simulator was located inside the hangar. Later a larger version would be
located at the Lunar Landing Facility. This position meant that a person's legs
experienced only one sixth of their weight, which was the equivalent of being on
the lunar surface.
The purpose of this simulator was to study the subject while walking, jumping or
running. Researchers conducted studies of various factors such as fatigue limit,
energy expenditure, and speed of locomotion.
