The International Space Station carries a body mass measurement device, similar in principle to that used on Skylab, for weighing cosmonauts. The cosmonaut places chest and abdomen on the subject support and footrests and handlebars immobilise feet and hands. A thumb-activated lever unlocks the unit to begin oscillations - the frequency of vibration measures the mass of the subject to 0.5% accuracy.

We found a better solution for this type of instrument. Easier, cheaper, and more accurate. Just see our idea ! " space weighting scale" on youtube.

Awesome! Glad you actually measure mass in and of mass's true nature.
You aren't weighing yourself, you are inertia'ing yourself.
Great demonstration. We take gravity for granted on the ground every day.

Very cool, I would not have guessed that this was the method used for weighing oneself in space.
These videos are amazing.
Thanks Kowch737.
