- Abstract:
The article focuses on the articulated dummy created by engineer Joe Slowik in the early 1960s for the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to test astronaut spacesuits. The dummy was tested at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas. It was purchased at auction and donated to NASM in 1986.
