| Abstract |
Two prototype studies of crew members working in the micro-G environments aboard the first two flights of Spacelab are described. Video cameras situated in the spacecraft were used to observe various aspects of crew restraint, stabilization, manipulation of controls and mobilization. Particular attention was paid to the use of foot restraints and hand stabilization. Principles for the design of an adequate foot restraint are put forward along with proposals for future spacecraft studies. |
