From February 5th to February 10th 2012 I was part of a team from the University of North Dakota's Spacesuit Lab to travel to Hanksville, UT to analog field test UND's NDX-1 Spacesuit at the Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station with personnel from NASA Ames Research Center Center.

Testing was done to compare geology tasks completed in the suit vs. the same tasks preformed without the suit. The personnel from NASA Ames will publish their findings in the future.

Also this allowed the field testing of the Bio-Medical Sensing System that the North Dakota State University developed for the UND Spacesuit Lab.
