Muslim Scientists Unveil Spacesuit Designed To Be Worn By Humans On Surface of Mars
Wait, did I say "Muslim Scientists"?
LOL
I meant NASA Scientists.
From the BBC:
The Z-2 will be built using 3D-printed parts, and 3D laser scans will ensure each suit fits each astronaut perfectly.
It will be tested in vacuum chambers, at Nasa's training pool and at a site that imitates the rocky Martian surface.
Nasa said: "Each iteration of the Z-series will advance new technologies that one day will be used in a suit worn by the first humans to step foot on the Red Planet."
And the Z-2 "pays homage to the spacesuit achievements of the past while incorporating subtle elements of the future".
Its hard composite upper torso "provides the much-needed long-term durability that a planetary extravehicular activity suit will require", but despite its "aesthetic appeal" the prototype was not made of the same durable material designed to protect space-walking astronauts from micro-meteorite strikes, extreme temperatures and radiation, Nasa added.
