Fred is the Phantom Torso, an approximately 95-pound, 3 foot high mockup of a human upper body. The Phantom Torso, also known as "Fred," is an anatomical model of a human torso and head. Fred contains hundreds of radiation monitoring devices. Fred ... will measure the amount of radiation to which astronauts are exposed.
