Summary

At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, one lab uses the virtual reality environment to study how astronauts perform on spacewalks. They use sandboxes, multi-directional treadmills, and even mockups of spacesuits to simulate the spacewalk environment in ways that other facilities can't. The data they gather on human health and performance could have an impact on future deep space exploration by mitigating risk.
