Abstract	This presentation will summarize preliminary results from the operational testing of the Draper Wearable Kinematic System (WKS)— a self-contained, wearable and hand-portable system for real-time navigation state estimation equipped with a carbon dioxide (CO2) monitor—within NEEMO mission 23. The NEEMO analog missions have taken place on the ocean floor in the Aquarius Reef Base underwater research facility, located 19 m below sea level off the coast of Florida. This Earth-based spaceflight analog environment creates a realistic platform through which to examine human performance and simulate operations that are representative of living and working in space. Critical for the design and development of future space exploration mission vehicles is the quantification of astronaut three-dimensional (3D) movement and orientation within a microgravity environment to determine net habitable volume requirements. Currently, body-worn sensors have the ability to monitor CO2 levels, temperature, and humidity at periodic intervals via a body-worn system. However, there is currently no localization element to determine where those sensor measurements were taken. Within this mission, Draper demonstrated the use of the WKS in an operationally relevant spaceflight environment as a system for tracking astronaut position, velocity, and orientation as well as mapping CO2 concentrations within the underwater habitat.
