Abstract

The general human dynamic equations under weightlessness were derived using Kane-Huston's Method. According to manned spaceflight circumstances, specific equations for models of floating in space and having a single point support were derived from the above general equations. The action that the astronaut opens the hatch door was analyzed, the "float" evolution was calculated, and the evolutionary curves were drawn.
