New Trend Of Extravehicular Spacesuit Technology Development

Astronaut Zhai Zhigang went out into the outer space and brought the Chinese made "extravehicular spacesuit" into the boundless space.

After experiencing the stage of spacesuit and extravehicular spacesuit, the life support system of Martian spacesuit extravehicular activity is becoming the new trend of space suit technology development.

The future most advanced spacesuit will be the spacesuit worn by the Martian astronauts. The designers of the space suit in the United States are researching and designing it.

Because of the thin air, low temperature and frequent dust storms on Mars, the design of Martian spacesuits requires new ideas, new technologies and new materials.

At present, scientists are developing a "biological clothing system" similar to "second skin".

The surface of this garment will be sprayed with a coating that can be decomposed by organic organisms, which can protect astronauts in the dust covered planetary environment.

In addition, the spacesuit can not only be embedded in artificial muscle fibers driven by electric power, enhance human strength and endurance, but also have built-in communication equipment, biosensors, computers, climbing tools for space walks and other extravehicular activities, and have made great improvements in weight, quality and flexibility.

At the same time, in order to improve the maneuverability of astronauts' extravehicular activities, some countries in the United States, Russia and Europe have developed the cabin life support system, which can carry astronauts away from spacecraft and fly freely within a certain space.

In twenty-first Century, some European countries and Russia jointly developed the life saving system for extravehicular activities. The combination of spacesuit and self-sustaining life support system will be the trend of future spacesuit technology.
