Summary of March 10th NASA Tour

Measureing the Effects on the Human Body in Space was the topic for the March 10th meeting.

Gail Perusek of NASA Glenn Research Center was the presenter.

Dynamic measurement applications for NASA's Human Research Program - Exercise Countermeasures Project; highlighting strain-gage based load sensors used on the International Space Station for measuring crewmember treadmill harness loads while exercising, accelerometry worn on the body for possible application in an Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit during lunar missions, and a capacitive-based extensometer for measuring strains in human bone.

We also toured the exercise countermeasures laboratory which was fantastic.



If you were unable to make this meeting, we hope to have a future calibration meeting on a more interactive basis.
