Popis: The Variable Vector Countermeasure Suit (V2Suit) is a countermeasure suit for sensorimotor adaptation and musculoskeletal deconditioning in microgravity. The V2Suit consists of wearable modules containing arrays of control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) that provide a viscous resistance to motions made against a specified direction. To reduce the movement coordination and sensorimotor problems seen during and following gravity level transitions, this resistance will be felt in the direction of “down” to mimic gravity.
