Image of early prototype - February 2010. The Constellation Space Suit system was designed by NASA for Constellation program due to the needs of reducing space on board the relatively small (by current standards) Orion spacecraft, and at the same time, would protect the astronauts during launch, reentry and landing, and extreme emergencies (such as a cabin depressurization).
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.
