A brief review of some reduced-gravity simulators recently developed at NASA's Langley Research Center to study specific problems relating to man's mobility in various space missions is presented in this paper along with a discussion of the manner in which these devices can be applied to other mobility problems. The devices covered in this review are the lunar walking simulator, the rotating space station simulator, and the lunar landing research facility being utilized by the Spacecraft Research Branch of LRC. These facilities are applicable to a rather broad field of space activities including such aspects as man walking on the lunar surface in a pressurized space suit, flying over the lunar surface with a backpack propulsion unit or a small rocket-propelled vehicle, driving a surface roving vehicle, and orbital assembly of spacecraft components. These facilities can also be applied to studies of space missions on other planets, moons, and asteroids.
