Final Frontier Design IVA Space Suit. Final Frontier Design (FFD) is developing a commercial full IVA space suit, with their first suit completed in 2010. [53] FFD's suits are intended as a light-weight, highly mobile, and inexpensive commercial space suits. Since 2011, FFD has upgraded IVA suit's designs, hardware, processes, and capabilities.
The I-Suit incorporates improvements in materials and manufacturing techniques which make it both lighter and more mobile than the EMU. While the EMU is solely intended for the microgravity environment, where weight is not an issue, the I-Suit's planetary role makes weight a critical factor. By replacing the EMU's fiberglass Hard Upper Torso (HUT) section with a soft upper torso, or SUT, and ...
The E.M.U Display and Control Module (DCM). The EMU, like the Apollo/Skylab A7L spacesuit, was the result of 21 years of research and development. [Note 1] It consists of a Space Suit Assembly (SSA) assembly which includes the Hard Upper Torso (HUT), arm sections, gloves, an Apollo-style "bubble" helmet, the Extravehicular Visor Assembly (EVVA), and a soft Lower Torso Assembly (LTA ...
The suit is a direct descendant of the U.S. Air Force high-altitude pressure suits worn by the two-man crews of the SR-71 Blackbird, pilots of the U-2 and X-15, and Gemini pilot-astronauts, and the Launch Entry Suits (LES) worn by NASA astronauts starting on the STS-26 flight, the first flight after the Challenger disaster.
Krechet-94 Suit. The Krechet-94 (Russian Кречет, meaning gyrfalcon) is a space suit model developed for lunar excursion during the Soviet crewed lunar program. It was designed by NPP Zvezda. Development began in 1967, concurrently with the Orlan suit for microgravity spacewalks. The developmental model was known simply as Krechet. [1]

The Z-1 is the first Z prototype suit constructed. The Z series [1] is a series of prototype extra-vehicular activity (EVA) space suits being developed in the Advanced Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AEMU) project under NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) program. The suits are being designed to be used for both micro-gravity and planetary ...
In July 2007, the CDC purchased 30 Delta Protection suits to be used in BSL-4, [4] and called them "orange suits". [5] [6] On August 20, 2007, Bacou-Dalloz became Sperian Protection. [7] The same suit design became part of Sperian Protection ventilated suits ("White Suits"). [8] On September 15, 2010, Sperian Protection became part of Honeywell ...
