8 The Sensor Validation test is directed by the test leader Wolfgang Granig. It is designed to test the
9 functionality of all sensors possessed by the suit. Potential hazards within the tests are personal
10 health problems of the Analog Astronaut due to wrong measurements causing too high CO2 or too
11 low O2 levels in the suit or too high operator temperature. This test involves three subtests (A – C).

13 **Subtest A: **For this Subtest all available sensors have to be positioned as close together as possible to
14 allow a reference measurement. During this procedure the temperature must be controllable. All
15 sensor data is measured for 5 minutes settling time and 5 minutes sampling at temperatures of 25°
16 Celsius, 15° Celsius and 35° Celsius. At the end the results are analyzed and an individual temperature
17 dependent offset of each sensor is calculated. Subtest A has a duration of approx. 1h 50.
18
19 **Subtest B: **In this test application measurements of the HUT (hard upper torso) and the helmet are
20 performed. All sensor data is measured for 5 minutes settling time and 5 minutes sampling time at
21 temperatures of 25° Celsius, 15° Celsius and 35° Celsius in the closed helmet and with higher CO2
22 and lower O2 concentration. At the end the results are analyzed and an individual temperature
23 dependent offset of each sensor is calculated. Subtest B has a duration of approx. 1h 30.
24
25 **Subtest C:** In this test application measurements are performed with the whole suit (except the
26 exoskeleton). All sensor data is measured for 10 minutes settling time and 5 minutes measurement
27 time in different positions of the Analog Astronaut (helmet standard position, helmet top position,
28 helmet bottom position, thorax position, belly position, tights position, lower leg position). Subtest C
29 has a duration of approx. 3h 30.
