JSC2006-E-15537 (April 2006) --- Astronaut <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Anderson" class="extiw" title="en:Clayton Anderson">Clayton Anderson</a>, wearing only shorts and a skull cap, remains still during a three hour process in which a set of laser beams is shot at his body. NASA is utilizing new laser technology as a means to gather data of an astronaut’s physical measurements in order to properly match him or her with a space suit of the correct shape and size. Through the creation of an ever-growing data base, scientists and engineers will begin to analyze these data in the hopes of determining what kinds of general body shapes, heights, arm lengths, hand sizes and so on, are prevalent among those selected to fly in space.
