• The space-suited astronaut is the ultimate symbol of human exploration • The spacesuit is essentially a self- contained, one-person spacecraft • It protects the crew from and enables them to work in the hostile environments of deep space and the lunar surface • It is the “last line of defense” for astronauts when they leave the relative safety of the , lunar lander, or habitat

2 2 The Challenge for Exploration

• Current spacesuits are not suitable for Exploration – Apollo Extravehicular Mobility Unit – Advanced Crew Escape Suit – /International Space Station Extravehicular Mobility Unit

• A new pressurized suit system will be required to support long-term Exploration requirements – Meets all capability requirements – Improves reliability – Improves logistics and maintenance – Reduces life cycle costs

3 3 The EVA System Design Approach

Launch and Entry

• A single spacesuit system with two configurations which share many components

In-space Contingency • Common, evolvable infrastructure

• Minimum set of hardware to meet all mission phase requirements

• Modular, reconfigurable, component- based open architecture Lunar Surface

4 4 EVA Single Suit System Architecture

Launch/Entry/Abort & Microgravity EVA Suit Lunar Surface EVA Suit (Configuration 1) (Configuration 2)

Soft rear entry design Two ‘shortie’ cores Rear entry hatch design

Portable Life Support System Shoulder bearing Common for mobility helmet Enhanced shoulder mobility

Common Waist Bearing lower arms Gloves EVA Gloves

Multi-hip Bearing

Thermal micrometeroid garment/ Thigh Disconnect Common multi-layer insulation for relevant for modularity legs/boots environment – including boot covers

*Overall EVA System architecture approach - modular, reconfigurable, component-based architecture that meets various mission objectives
