Sleek new commercial spacewalking suit @SpaceX.

  • what pressure is inside the suit?
  • how supple is range of motion when pressurized?
  • where does the umbilical attach?
  • can you see/access the umbilical to tend it?
  • how to attach to structure to free up hands for work?
  • spark sources in 100% oxygen?
  • diaper?

Hi Chris ~5.1

  • always the challenge but mobility and dexterity a big focus throughout dev
  • standard suit and dragon umbilical attachment points with additional tether and secondary O2 and avionics ports.
  • yes
  • objective is primarily a suit test matrix and there is a hands free demo using foot mobility aid
  • part of qualification testing
  • 2hr op but if you gotta go, you gotta go

No units given for suit pressure, but presumably psi.

Thanks Jared - if I can be of any help, please just ask. I’m excited for you and your crew and a useful new EVA suit. You’ll learn so many unanticipated things: have margin, keep everyone safe. And purposefully take time to notice just what a cool new human experience spacewalking is.

    Does this indicate that the atmosphere within Dragon and the EVA suits is 100% O2? Or is the concern here to mitigate risks if the atmosphere happens to be 100% O2 in an emergency situation?
