Description: The LunaSim team is designing a suspension system off-loader for astronaut lunar simulation training. The system will allow users to experience a 1/6th gravity environment here on earth while performing a series of hybrid reality mission objectives. Similar to NASA's ARGOS or reduced-gravity aircraft, astronauts will use LunaSim’s system to better prepare for a variety of gravity conditions to further advance the exploration of the moon and beyond.
