Technique, devised by NASA Langley Research Center, simulates partial gravity for unlimited periods while allowing freedom of movement over considerable distances; principle of inclined plan technique which makes it possible to study movement of person under any desired reduced gravity level by supporting properly constrained test subject at appropriate angle with respect to vertical; for lunar gravity subject tilts 80.5° with respect to vertical; details of suspension system; results of tests conducted with various subjects involving standing, running and walking, load carrying and vertical jumping under lunar gravity conditions.
