SpaceX Reveals Spacesuit With Heads-Up Display for Moon Base, Mars Goals
The extravehicular activity (EVA) suit will be used during SpaceX's upcoming Polaris Dawn mission in Earth's orbit. But SpaceX ultimately wants to use the suits for Moon and Mars trips as well.
It plans to use them during its upcoming Polaris Dawn mission, where four astronauts will spend up to five days orbiting Earth in a SpaceX Dragon capsule with the goal of testing Starlink in space and conducting research to prepare for a potential base on the Moon and the human colonization of Mars. There's a copper and indium tin oxide outer coating and an anti-fog and anti-glare treatment, as well as a built-in camera and heads-up display (HUD) that will show the astronaut's suit pressure, temperature, and humidity levels while tracking the amount of time they spend in space, according to a SpaceX video. "All of these enhancements to the EVA suit are part of a scalable design, allowing teams to produce and scale to different body types as SpaceX seeks to create greater accessibility to space for all of humanity," the Polaris program's site reads.
