This master thesis was performed at Architecture and Development Studies at Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University. It is a collaboration with NASA at Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston and Lund University Hospital with the objective of making an operating table for long term missions like Mars explorations. The Zero Gravity Surgical Workstation (0GSW) is an operating table designed to man
