Spacesuit Testing

"Collins Aerospace Achieves Milestone in Next-Generation Spacesuit Testing"

Collins Aerospace completed a key milestone in testing its next generation spacesuit for astronauts working on the U.S. side of the International Space Station. The testing, part of NASA’s Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services contract, involved former NASA astronauts performing tasks in a Zero Gravity plane to simulate microgravity. The successful test brings them closer to sustaining human life in space with the most advanced spacesuit yet, and Collins is also developing a version for the Moon's surface to support missions for the Artemis program.
