The new suits will be worn during the upcoming Polaris Dawn mission, in which the Crew Dragon spacecraft will orbit Earth for five days.
SpaceX is preparing to launch a private crew of astronauts on a five day journey through Earth orbit, and they will be the first to try on the company’s latest spacesuit design during a first-of-its-kind spacewalk. In an update shared on May 4, SpaceX revealed the design of its long-awaited extravehicular activity suit. The new spacesuits will be worn by the Polaris Dawn crew during a series of private astronaut missions backed by billionaire Jared Isaacman .
Earlier in January, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a presentation, “We’ve got to redesign the suit so that you actually move around in it. It’s quite hard to still be mobile in an inflated suit.” The company may have finally figured it out. SpaceX’s new spacesuits are an evolutionary design of the company’s astronaut suits currently worn by the Dragon crews with added features to support the extravehicular activities.
