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 I-Suit is a spacesuit model constructed by ILC Dover. The suit began as an EVA mobility demonstrator, developed to meet a contract awarded by NASA to ILC in 1997 for an all-soft suit. The I-Suit is designed for multiple roles, including planetary excursion and microgravity EVA.
ILC continues in their space suit innovation [16] with the development of the Z-1 Suit for NASA [18] Designed and manufactured at ILC Dover's Houston [19] facility. The Z-1 is the first suit to be successfully integrated into a suit-port dock mechanism eliminating the need for an air lock; and reducing the consumable demands on long term missions.
The Z-1 prototype was designed and built by ILC Dover for NASA. [4] The Z-1 was named one of Time magazine 's Best inventions of the year for 2012. [ 5 ] Because of its unique neon green colored stripes on the arms and legs, the suit has entered popular culture as the " Buzz Lightyear Suit" for sharing the color worn by the character in the ...
In the late 1970s, ILC Dover, LP, developed a special garment, the Demilitarization Protective Ensemble (DPE), to fulfill the U.S. Army's need for an off-the-shelf, positive pressure, totally encapsulating suit for use by maintenance personnel at a chemical weapons site. The DPE was delivered to the Army in 1979 and is still currently in daily ...
In 1983, ILC Dover came out with the first, heavily influenced by the M17 mask, prototype of M40: the XM40 mask. Throughout its development it got numerous important changes that helped pave the way towards the final product, such as increased rigidity, bulk reduction and the removal of a dimple under the voice diaphragm for clearing the mask.

A Hard Upper Torso Assembly, or HUT, is a central component of several space suits, notably Roscosmos' Orlan and NASA's Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU). The fiberglass HUT forms a rigid enclosure about the upper body of the occupant, providing pressure containment for this part of the body.
