Effects of reduced gravity on human body, and ability of man to maintain his orientation and equilibrium on lunar surface
Ability of man to orient himself and move about in reduced gravity of lunar environment
To simulate the effects of lunar gravity, an arrangement of near-vertical cables has been devised. These suspend the test subject perpendicular to an inclined walkway to give the effect of reduced gravitational pull.
