Finally, there were limitations to this study. Only 6 male astronauts participated in this study.
The test team was unable to determine to what extent the POGO, unsuited harness and
suited gimbal system affected performance from the limited data set. However, these data
provide a critical step forward to understanding and quantifying suited human performance
in reduced gravity. Future studies using different subjects, EVA suits, harnessing/gimbal
systems, analog environments, and different tasks will be needed to foster a thorough …
