NASA Space Suit

There are brand new space suits for astronauts flying NASA Missions on Boeing’s Starliner! They are really fashionable and come with a decent set of integrated shoe’s (Which look like trainers too!) It’s lighter and a lot more comfortable spacesuits than previous suits! Plus they:

  • Are tailored for each astronaut.
  • Helmet and visor incorporated into the suit instead of detachable
  • Come equipped with gloves for modern touch screens.
  • Can be pressurised in an emergency.
  • Protect Astronauts better in an emergency.
  • Protect Astronauts in launch, in flight and on return!
  • weighs about 20 pounds – about 10 pounds lighter than the launch-and-entry suits worn by space shuttle astronauts.
  • The material lets water vapor pass out of the suit and away from the astronaut but keeps air inside. Making it cooler and safe.
