manikin

The “moonikin” — a mashup of moon and manikin — is based on a firefighter training rescue manikin, says NASA engineer Dustin Gohmert.

The heat from the thermal manikins would shine bright on infrared cameras, carbon dioxide could be detected by chemical sniffers, cell phone signals could be picked up by antennas, and with visual light optical cameras could work, too.

In some experiments, the team put medical masks on just one of the manikins.

Through snatches of sleep, my disordered dreams made a grinning, red Manikin of our ship.

Whichever way we stood him, Manikin would jump up serenely on his plump little legs, always smiling and jolly.

But unseen by the king, the manikin was standing beside him when he said that, and heard all.

For thirty years that great and good man had been represented by a stuffed manikin.

Gliding here and yon, and jiggling a tray to serve the general need, went a waxen-faced manikin.
