Experimentally derived applied moments are presented for Space Shuttle crew EVA mission rotations of objects more massive than the human body. These levels appear to be small fractions of physiological limits; horizontal and vertical shoulder strength limits greater than 50 Nm have been established for foot-restrained, pressure-suited subjects in simulated weightlessness. The reduced level in operational EVA may be due to unfamiliarity with manual control in true weightlessness.
