Development of Astronaut Reorientation Methods: A Computational and Experimental Study

Past spaceflight missions have shown that astronauts adapt their motor-control strategies to the microgravity environment. Even though astronauts undergo hundreds of training hours, the strategies for locomotion and orientation are not specifically prescribed. The majority of an astronaut’s motion-c...
