Who Is Making The Spacesuit For NASA?

You think the spacesuit is like this.

Clothes don't take the fashion into consideration. The truth is not. Air exploration and fashion seem to have a close relationship. Young astronauts have their own demands on fashion.

For example, NASA astronaut Bill Dana asked NASA to send a pair of pink boots to test him.

In this regard, Final Frontier Design studios do not need to worry about that.

Because there's a musicals that once wrote Spiderman.

Broadway dress designer Kari Love, and she is also the chief pattern maker of Final Frontier Design.

For Kari Love, Broadway's work experience is very important, because for Broadway, costumes are a very important part of attracting audience's attention, so they need to be considered.

Beauty, innovation, cost, safety and human factors, all these requirements are the same as spacesuit.

The highest tech clothing is estimated to be NASA's spacesuit.

So who is making these clothes for NASA? In fact, NASA has been looking for help from the clothing industry.

But strangely enough, large clothing companies can't do this job well.

Today, the spacesuit manufacturers include not only a few underwear factories, but also a costumes factory, a costume factory that is still playing Broadway costumes.

The company is called Final Frontier Design, which is only a small studio in Broolyn, New York. It used to play Broadway costumes, and now it has not yet been lost.

Today, until now, whether it is a part-time job or a space suit is a part-time job.

The two founding Nikolai Moiseev and Ted Southern of Final Frontier Design met in a glove design competition in 2007, when they were in different teams, obviously competitors.

They won the design at the time, a single glove, making gloves with airtight material, achieving a "bubble wrapped in textile material" effect, and significantly reducing the friction.

The final result was loved, and two people got the bonus and the contract, and set up the Final Frontier Design.

Since the first space suit was designed in 2010, Final Frontier Design has designed three generations of spacesuits.

After more than 30 versions of the improvement, the latest generation of space material is lighter, more beautiful in design, and more integrated with modern technology. For example, many links (such as buckles) on clothing are printed by 3D.

Final Frontier Design's current spacesuits, including its built-in helmets, are also single-layer, and the joints are thermally welded with high-tech materials.

Under inflation, the pressure in the spacesuit is about 1/3 of that in the earth's sea-level atmosphere, so even in the state of decompression, you can survive for several hours.

It also has special bubbles that will protect you during takeoff and return rocket acceleration.

This air suit includes an oxygen system, a temperature control system, a practical pocket, an internal sunshade, an integrated communication system, and a "biomedical workstation".
