In this Dec. 11, 1963, image, technicians prepare a test subject for studies on the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator at NASA\u2019s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. This position meant that a person\u2019s legs experienced only one sixth of their weight, which was the equivalent of being on the Moon\u2019s surface. The simulator was used to study the subject while walking, jumping, or running; it also was used to train Apollo<\/a> astronauts for completing tasks in the unfamiliar lunar environment.<\/p>\n
