Aero-TV: Is Bio-Suit The Space Suit Of The (Near) Future?

[TardisGeek]

1/3 of an atmosphere! I would've thought that being a mechanical counter pressure suit the volume of the air pressuredidn't matter. Surely it should provide sea level atmospheric pressure so they don't have to go through a pre breath exercise in the airlock like what they do onboard the ISS.

How is the air distributed from the backpack into the suit? Is it through biomechanical veins on the suit or by a single port on the back of the suit just like the vast majority of conventional spacesuits like the EMU and the Orlan?

As far as i know the helmet is the only part wich is supplied with air. So i giess there is just a connection from the backpack to the helmet.

wow thats a good space suit but does it have a ISD and SOB

[TogieTung]

why don't they let corp sponsors put company logos as a way to pay for the space suits & get good PR.

Really interesting. however, I could do without the ..brought to you by...i want to be able to walk on the surface of mars.. not to fly a lame jet-plane...

[oomnine]

do they come in styles?

[SailorBarsoom]

This is interesting. The two alternatives to the standard gas pressure suit seem to be mechanical counter-pressure suits, like this, and hard suits with the rotating joints. This would certainly be lighter.

sound like this is a long way out..

There's been 66 views and no comments. I love this suit even more than the A7L. When I look at a real genuine A7L at Expo 86 I wanted to be inside of it. The helmet bubble is like an A7L but it's a bit bigger. I wonder how much a Bio Suit costs?
