As we welcome back the astronauts from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Artemis Program, students in Assistant Professor Tan Chen’s Robotics, Locomotion, and Applied Control (ROLAC) Lab are already looking ahead to when we put people back on the moon’s surface. As part of their 2024-2025 Senior Design project, Parker Courte-Rathwell ’25, Danny Ezzo ’25, and Ingrid Halverson ’25 developed a hypogravity simulator which mimics the moon’s gravity through a series of elastics and pulleys. Their work was part of the lab’s NASA-funded research project investigating astronaut mobility health for future lunar missions.
