The European Space Agency is a customer for the preparation and implementation of the scientific program.

USED SCIENCE HARDWARE:

The astronaut restraint consisting of the knee restraint and interface beam. The knee restraint is designed to restrain astronaut's feet and is attached on the interface beam, which in its turn is mounted on the structural elements of the US Segment of the ISS.

• Knee block kit
• Interface beam kit

PURPOSE:

Testing of astronaut restraint concept.
