Orion Testing With Cadavers – Update
OSU’s cadaver tests help NASA design spacesuit
“Crash-test dummies are designed for a frontal crash; they don’t have the instrumentation to predict injuries that could occur when landing a spacecraft,” Bolte said. The bodies of three men who died in their 50s and 60s were used to test for injury at forces of 10 and 20 times the gravitational force we feel on Earth — the landing forces used in Wright-Patterson tests.”
