The suits
3-D Printed Helmet
The 3-D printed helmet with customized padding houses microphones for communication and valves that regulate the suit’s pressure systems.
Visor
Designed to provide a large field of view and rotates open.
Touchscreen Compatible Gloves
The gloves are designed for easy use when the suit is pressurized and with the ability to operate Dragon’s touchscreens.
Outer Layer
The space suit’s outer layer is made with flame-resistant materials. Gray parts are different versions of Nomex and the white material is a Teflon fabric.
Quick Disconnect
A single connection point between the suit and vehicle provides the life support system for the astronauts: avionics for communications, cooling systems, and pressurization of the suit, all via an easy-to-use plug-in.
Zippers
Zippers on the wrist allow astronauts to use their bare hands on the controls when appropriate. Zippers also run inside a seam inside the legs, from one ankle to the other, which is where the crew gets into and out of the suit.
HEADS-UP DISPLAY (HUD) AND CAMERA
Active only during the spacewalk, the HUD displays suit pressure, temperature, and humidity while monitoring how long the astronauts will be exposed to the vacuum of space.
Visor
Externally coated with copper and indium tin oxide (ITO) with an anti-fog treatment on the interior, the polycarbonate visor provides critical thermal insulation while also functioning like a pair of sunglasses during the spacewalk.
SUIT MOBILITY
Novel, semi-rigid rotator joints stay soft until pressurized, while still allowing for arm rotation. Enhanced flexure joints at the wrists, elbows, waist, and legs also provide pressurized mobility.
ZIPPERS
Spiral zippers at the waist enable easy in and out of the suit. Zippers on the forearms allow for greater mobility and bare-hand operations until gloves are required.
DUAL CAPABILITY
Used for both intravehicular and extravehicular activities, redundant helmet seals, lockouts on latching mechanisms, and added internal valves for fault tolerant pressure control ensure suit robustness and safety when operating at 5.1 psia during the EVA.
OUTER LAYER
SpaceX-developed, flame-resistant stretch fabric material provides greater mobility on the suit’s outer layer.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
A new textile-based thermal garment material provides mobility while regulating suit temperatures. An easy-access dial on the suit’s umbilical controls an in-suit cooling capability, delivering additional oxygen during the spacewalk.
BOOTS
Constructed of the same thermal material used on Falcon’s interstage and Dragon’s trunk, the boots provide thermal capability at both high and low temperatures in the vacuum of space as well as greater flexibility.
