This next-generation spacesuit will make it easier for every NASA astronaut to conduct critical spacewalks in low Earth orbit,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “NASA’s partnership with Collins Aerospace represents the future of space exploration and the strength of American innovation. Designed to fit the diverse astronaut corps size range and provide a broader range of motion, the suit will incorporate new technology that is more efficient and durable, and requires less maintenance, than the current suit design used by NASA astronauts on the space station. NASA is partnering with Collins Aerospace to develop a next-generation spacesuit, offering improved mobility, efficiency, and durability while catering to a diverse range of astronaut sizes.Ī next-generation spacesuit – in effect an astronaut’s personal spaceship – will advance NASA’s spacewalking capabilities in low Earth orbit and at the International Space Station.Ĭollins Aerospace, working with partners ILC Dover and Oceaneering, is designing and building a new suit for NASA. The design includes advanced life support components and a liquid cooling and ventilation garment for temperature regulation.
The new suit will fit a diverse range of astronaut sizes, offer greater mobility, and incorporate more efficient, durable technology that requires less maintenance compared to the current Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. Collins Aerospace, in collaboration with ILC Dover and Oceaneering, is developing a next-generation spacesuit for NASA that will advance spacewalking capabilities in low Earth orbit and at the International Space Station.
