Along with a NASA designed life support system, the new higher pressure Z suits allow for bypassing pre-breathe and allows for quick donning of the suit and exit of the space craft. The Z-1 is the first suit to be successfully integrated into a suitport dock mechanism eliminating the need for an air lock, and reducing the consumable demands on ...
The Mark III or MK III (H-1) is a NASA space suit technology demonstrator built by ILC Dover. While heavier than other suits (at 59 kilograms (130 lb), with a 15 kilograms (33 lb) Primary Life Support System backpack), the Mark III is more mobile, and is designed for a relatively high operating pressure.
The space suits functioned as individual, personalized space crafts designed to keep a human alive in the environment of space or the lunar surface. The production line at ILC followed NASA-mandated engineering guidelines that were significantly stricter than typical clothing manufacturing processes. Tolerance for variation in the stitches were ...

The spacesuit is intended for use on NASA's Artemis III mission to the moon, which, if successful, would be the first crewed landing on the moon since Apollo 17 in 1972.
Currently scheduled for the second half of 2026, NASA’s Artemis III mission plans to be the first astronaut moon landing since Apollo 17 in 1972. If successful, it could also be the first time a ...
The Gemini spacesuit is a spacesuit worn by American astronauts for launch, in-flight activities (including EVAs) and landing. It was designed by NASA based on the X-15 high-altitude pressure suit. [ citation needed ] All Gemini spacesuits were developed and manufactured by the David Clark Company in Worcester, Massachusetts .
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.
