The new SpaceX Extravehicular Activity Suit (EVA)SpaceX

The new SpaceX Extravehicular Activity Suit (EVA) will be used by the Polaris Dawn crew about 700 kilometers above Earth for the first-ever commercial astronaut spacewalk.

These suits, an upgrade from the older IVA suits, offer better movement, a high-tech helmet with a Heads-Up Display (HUD) and camera, and improved thermal management thanks to new materials inspired by Falcon’s interstage and Dragon‘s trunk.

Creating a Moon base and a Mars city will demand millions of spacesuits. Developing this suit and pulling off the spacewalk are crucial steps toward designing suits that can be mass-produced for future missions, as humanity ventures into the cosmos.
