Of course, NASA has already imagined its astronauts Buzz Lightyear , it seems that this new spacesuit is not best suited for its mission to capture asteroid. That is why the U.S. space agency has developed another model, currently being tested in the laboratory.
It is in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, the prototypes are tested by astronauts. It is an improved version of the iconic spacesuit ACES, recognizable by its bright and used since 1994 orange color. This new combination should allow them to move easily inside and outside the spacecraft Orion. Furthermore, it will be less bulky and more flexible to the depth of the space explorations. The goal is to gain mobility while making it easier for astronauts.
Note that NASA plans to capture an asteroid before then put it in orbit around the moon to investigate. The pressure suit will be worn by astronauts in charge of his field study, scheduled for 2025.
