@SpaceX and the @PolarisProgram have just revealed their all-new Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit, which will first be used during the Polaris Dawn mission. The suit has a myriad of new features, that will enable EVAs. These new features include: An "externally copper and indium tin oxide" coated visor with an "anti-fog treatment", A heads-up display (displaying suit pressure and humidity, and EVA timer) and camera, Spiral zippers allow the suit to be easily put on, and taken off, "SpaceX-developed flame-resistant stretch fabric materials", Boots "constructed from the same thermal material used on Falcon's interstage", and the Dragon Capsule's trunk. These boots provide "thermal capability at both high and low temperatures in the vacuum of space" @SpaceX will host a Spaces event today at ~3:00 p.m. ET to discuss the mission further.
