Draper Spacesuit Could Keep NASA Astronauts Stable, Healthier in SpaceBoston MA (SPX) Aug 24, 2011 Draper Laboratory began work this month on a new spacesuit that could keep NASA astronauts healthy during long-duration space exploration missions and stabilize them while they work in microgravity. NASA commissioned the work through its NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, which funds efforts based on their potential to enhance future space missions. The suit aims to stabilize astronauts and allow them to operate far more efficiently during space missions by adding resistance s ... read more |
