To set ourselves up to best design for environments related to [[Space Travel at Scale]], we need to understand and clearly define what is called as a Neutral Body Posture.

## Neutral Body Posture
Having to maintain 1-G postures in microgravity produces stress.
This stress is detrimental is a [[Space Health Hazards]]
In microgravity, the body assumes a neutral body posture.
**a. Foot Angle**
Approximately 111 degrees
Solution- Sloping restraint surfaces + Leg placement at a postion in between sitting and standing leg posture
**b, Height**
The height of the crewmember in microgravity is between sitting and standing height.
**c. Head Tilt**
In microgravity the head is angled forward and down, a position that depresses the line of sight and requires that displays be lowered.
**Purpose -** Design and sizing of space modules should ensure accommodation, compatibility, operability, and maintainability by the user population.
**Criteria -** It is assumed that the personnel will be in good health, fully adult in physical development, an average age of 40 years, wide range of ethnic and racial backgrounds, male/female.
