They're not EVA suits, they're pressurized flight suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I like the suits, although they look more like motorcycle suits. But I guess Dragonriding isn’t that far off of motorcycle riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegarrison Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think the future of space suits will eventually be mechanical counter-pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I bet on Skybot F-850 and open tunics for operators in a rented coworking. Not so many humans are required in space. If speak about far future with crews of 20, no emergency suits are appropriate. The habitat itself should be safe. Maybe, some compressing film sprayed on the body and a breathing respirator, for evacuation. In this case you still don't need spacesuits even near Pluto, just send avatarbots and possess their bodies from the safe orbital habitat. Enough advanced science should look like magic. So, I would believe in a bath robe and slippers rather than in heroically looking ironman supersuit.

Like really tight suits? Aren't there problems with that? I thought they were't developed yet because the skin needs to 'breathe', but then it could probably be dealt with with enough microtubes or some special oxygen-rich gel, or something.

RCgothic Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Apr pressure tends to straighten out joints. To counteract that you could have mechanically assisted joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ssssssort of. I was just reading a thing but I can’t find it now, but anyways, instead of a pressure envelope like an EVA suit they used inflatable bladders, akin to fighter pilot G-suits. Lose pressure, and the bladders inflate, maintaining limited mechanical pressure to the most important bits. So kinda both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you only need air for your head. The rest of you is actually OK being exposed to the vacuum of space. Mechanical pressure ("a really tight suit") keeps you from the bruising and swelling that you would otherwise get, without all the joint rigidity and bulkiness problems that air pressure suits face. The main problem with MCP is figuring out how to get them on and off without it being an extreme workout. MCP suits are generally intended to transpire sweat, which allows you to use your natural evaporative cooling. (Cooling is usually a bigger problem than heating in space.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_counterpressure_suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plane had an onboard LOX dewar that was used for crew cooling, and systems cooling. Cold GOX would flow throughout the suit, to approximate climate control, since the cabin had none, but pressure was applied mechanically via expansion tubes that constricted the fabric of the suit. I believe Frank covers the suit system, here.https://youtu.be/MGdxpqqsHl8 Edited August 14, 2019 by Nothalogh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
