Astronaut Fashion

A student at the University of Houston has been analyzing video of moon walks to determine where improvements should be made to the space suit. Using video and metabolic information collected during walks on the moon, she determined the amount of energy astronauts used. Additionally, using reduced gravity simulators she is trying to determine locamotive stability on martian an lunar soil. All this information will be valuable in determining how much to add to space suits, and where to add it.
