EVA med evac sim experiment preparations

Several photos have been posted concerning the upcoming EVA medical evac sim experiment.

Biometric sensors that are attached to Pascal relay body temperature, heart rate, CO2 output and other information to computers in the spacesuit backpack. This data is then sent wirelessly to remote computer systems for review and analysis. Photo HMP-2006 / N. Wilkinson
