Astronaut Rex Walheim uses the Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) to perform early evaluations of the Orion Crew Survival System (OCSS) suit in Building 9 of Johnson Space Center in Houston on June 5, 2012. ARGOS is designed to simulate reduced gravity environments, such as lunar, Martian, or microgravity, using a system similar to an overhead bridge crane. Part of Batch image transfer from Flickr.
