... and 2016, a number of technologies and technical systems were demonstrated and tested in two Earth-analogue simulations of Extra-Vehicular Activities (EVA) on the Moon and Mars. The simulated surface EVAs included egress and ingress from a planetary...
... countermeasure regime? This is particularly important because, in upcoming missions, and especially those to the Moon, many extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) are foreseen. Astronauts will leave the relative safety of their Moon base for significant...
