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 ...
