Soyuz Occupant RiskSpaceflight has unique challenges for Occupant Protection. Current NASA Occupant Protection Requirements are based on military and automotive biodynamics research: Brinkley Dynamic Response Criteria; Hybrid III Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD). Soyuz offers unique insight into the role of spaceflight deconditioning on impact tolerance. Project Objectives: 1. Develop a landing injury database; 2. Obtain seat acceleration data from TMA (Soyuz-TMA: Transport Modified Anthropometric) landings; 3. Re-create Soyuz landings using models; 4. Update NASA occupant protection standards as needed.
