Summary

1628956541057-141.png

The HUMAIN experiment utilizes the integrated Head-up Display (HUD) of the OeWF Aouda Suit Simulators to test different methodologies of data displaying. The different displays are configured on the HUD prior to (or during) the donning and the EVA can then proceed as nominal. After the EVA, the AA will be asked to fill a questionnaire focusing on the perceived risk and situational awareness. Additionally, the Aouda sensor data will be analyzed post-mission to assess the measured values in the different HUD display configurations.

The core hypothesis that we would like to test during this experiment is whether making trend data available from sensors in the space suit helps improve the AA’s perception of risk.  The research question can be broken down into the following testable statement: do the CO2 and temperature readings acquired during an EVA statistically differ if the AA is shown only current CO2 and temperature readings, vs. trend data for the last five minutes (actual timing TBC). 

The conclusions from the HUMAIN experiment will help improve and optimize data display with the objective to increase situational awareness and perceived risk. This is directly applicable for the OeWF's developments in space suit simulators and for future space suits.
 The conclusions can further be expanded into other operational areas where situational awareness is hindered or where the operators need to rely heavily on displayed data.
