Increasing Spaceflight Analogue Mission Fidelity by Standardization of Extravehicular Activity Metrics Tracking and Analysis

Spaceflight analogues include human simulations that attempt to match as many variables of a real mission as possible, but here on Earth and at a fraction of the cost each having limitations. The goal of this Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) Spacesuit Utilization of Innovative Technology...

The goal of this Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) Spacesuit Utilization of Innovative Technology Laboratory (S.U.I.T.

Previous data acquired on 88 EVAs at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station in 2007, as well as historical Apollo data on EVAs, act as a baseline for data collection.

The investigation of human performance data with respect to energy expenditure will help identify physical limitations, thus providing explorers with a schedule that maximizes their potential on EVA. It is envisioned that the results of these studies will help prescribe systematic field operations and data collection standards that will prepare humankind for surface planetary expeditions. It is the intent of the ERAU S.U.I.T. Lab to act as a bridge between international efforts and as a repository of simulated mission EVA data for analysis and enhancement of human exploration.
