The SpaceX Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit → #Maythe4thBeWithYou

At ~700 km above Earth, the EVA suit will support the @PolarisProgram’s Polaris Dawn crew in the vacuum of space during the first-ever commercial astronaut spacewalk

Evolved from the Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit, the EVA suit provides greater mobility, a state-of-the-art helmet Heads-Up Display (HUD) and camera, new thermal management textiles, and materials borrowed from Falcon’s interstage and Dragon’s trunk

Building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars will require millions of spacesuits. The development of this suit and the execution of the spacewalk will be important steps toward a scalable design for spacesuits on future long-duration missions as life becomes multiplanetary

Tune in today ~3:00 p.m. ET to hear the crew discuss the mission on Spaces

Polaris Dawn is probably the most interesting mission coming up that people don’t know about.

Let’s fucking goooooo😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥

So cool!

Looks great

I’m amazed they were able to keep it so slim. I’d love to see how the internals look. Well done, and Godspeed Polaris Dawn!

nice!
