A method for capturing full-body scans for the purpose of extracting Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit measurements is being evaluated. Subjects were marked using reflective spheres enabling researchers to acquire all 118 measurements of the suit sizing protocol. Several researchers measured the subjects using a full-body laser scanner, a motion analysis system, and standard anthropometrical equipment. The linear scanner measurements were compared to the motion analysis data, while the circumferential scanner measurements were compared to the manual data. The mean percent difference between the scanner measurements and motion analysis linear/manual circumferential measurements was 4.21%. It was concluded that the scanner measurements were accurate enough for preliminary sizing of EVA suits.
