Why SpaceX’s New Spacesuits Stole the Show in the Polaris Project
On September 10, 2024, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched the Polaris Dawn mission into low-Earth orbit. But the true stars of the mission? SpaceX’s groundbreaking new EVA spacesuits!
At an incredible 700 kilometers above Earth, the crew aimed to make history by conducting the first-ever commercial spacewalk while wearing these state-of-the-art suits. What makes them so revolutionary?
These spacesuits are crucial for future Moon missions, designed with flame-resistant stretch fabric for better mobility and featuring a new textile-based thermal layer to regulate temperature. Plus, their versatility allows them to be worn both inside and outside the spacecraft—a game changer in space exploration!
