Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator

Astronaut training in the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator located in the hangar at Langley Research Center. This position meant that a person's legs experienced only one sixth of their weight, which was the equivalent of being on the lunar surface.

The Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator, or Lunar Landing Walking Simulator, was a facility developed by NASA in the early 1960s to study human locomotion under simulated lunar gravity conditions. Located at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia, it was designed to prepare astronauts for the Moon landing during the Apollo program.
