Testing of a Novel IVA Space Suit

PI: Ted Southern, Final Frontier Design LLC, Jamie Guined (Co-I), Integrated Spaceflight Services LLC (2)

This project is intended to evaluate Final Frontier Design's Intra-Vehicular Activity (IVA) space suit in the relevant environment of microgravity. The testing would include comparative human-in-the-loop data of subject performance both in 1G and 0G, and both suited and unsuited. Data collected will include metabolic and biometric data, suited range of motion, and subject comfort.
