The Air Force Research Laboratory’s 711th Human Performance Wing is seeking active duty military volunteers for a collaborative study with NASA to evaluate the impact forces astronauts could experience while standing during a lunar landing.
The Wing’s Biodynamics team needs 10 to 12 active duty men and women for impact acceleration testing on the vertical deceleration tower. Testing will occur from August to September 2026, and the data collected could help establish injury risk curves for future lunar landers that will support NASA’s Artemis missions.
