As part of their senior design course in aviation, three students undertook a project to design an electronic personal restraint system for NASA astronauts to use in microgravity environments. The design, created by Kevin Tait, Justin Lewis and Justin Hickel, would  allow an astronaut to walk along a surface while being electromagnetically restrained to it. The system would also release the user in the event of power failure.
