Abstract

Project Apollo has stimulated extensive research on human performance using a variety of lunar gravity simulators. Based on a survey of the literature, the following conclusions have emerged: (a) Existing simulators do not represent a high fidelity simulation of 1/6 g, (b) A validation study of the various simulators is needed, (c) Man will be capable of self-locomotion in lunar gravity, (d) Man's metabolic rate will be lower in 1/6 g during self-locomotion, (e) Man will change his method of performing common Earth tasks when in 1/6 g, (f) Psychomotor task decrement in 1/6 g will be observed, (g) Future research should direct itself toward a higher fidelity simulation of the total lunar ecology for study of mission-specific tasks.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Shavelson (1968) concluded that in four out of five studies metabolic rate decreases with decreasing gravity unless high mechanical work and external forces are required.

    “Shavelson (1968) summarized findings of different studies on metabolic rate and concluded that in four out of five studies metabolic rate is decreasing with decreasing gravity unless high mechanical work and external forces are required (Shavelson, 1968).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
