As stated above (in Need for simulation), the astronaut feels gravity inside the pressurized suit while immersed in water. However the astronaut-spacesuit combination, when properly balanced in neutral buoyancy as when in EVA, is weightless so the astronaut is, similar to standing on ice, unable to use weight to provide a force in any vector.
Mars' surface gravity is 37.8% of Earth's, approximately 2.3 times that of the Moon, so weight is a significant concern, but there are fewer thermal demands compared to open space. [4] At the surface the suits would contend with the atmosphere of Mars , which has a pressure of about 0.6 to 1 kilopascal (0.087 to 0.145 psi). [ 5 ]
Neutral buoyancy simulates the weightless environment of space. [5] First equipment is lowered into the pool using an overhead crane.Suited astronauts then get in the tank and support divers add weight to the astronauts so that they experience no buoyant force and no rotational moment about their center of mass.
Vast Space is a private company that proposes to build the world's first artificial gravity space station using the rotating spacecraft concept. [23] A Mars gravity simulator could be built on the Moon to prepare for Mars missions. The surface gravity of Mars is somewhat more than twice that of the Moon.
Although many science fiction works assume some type of artificial gravity or use rotation to "create" gravity, magnetic boots still feature for purposes of exterior repairs or in emergency situations.
Human analog missions are activities undertaken on Earth in various environments to simulate aspects of human missions to other worlds, including the Moon, asteroids, and Mars. These remote field tests are performed in locations that are identified based on their physical similarities to the extreme space environments of a target mission. [1]

History Channel, The Universe: Sex in Space. The 2Suit was invented by Vanna Bonta in 2006 [2] after she experienced microgravity during a parabolic flight that she flew with the National Space Society in 2004. Bonta presented the garment design in 2006 on a panel at a New Space conference of the Space Frontier Foundation. [1] [3] [4]
