System described in report simulates weightlessness of space for training of astronauts, without adverse effects of rapid decompression. As in previous simulators, trainee wearing space-suit performs training exercises while immersed in water. In new system, space-suit interior is not above atmospheric pressure. No need for trainee to undergo gradual decompression to prevent bends after lengthy exercise; nor is there need for medical team to be present.
