Made-to-Order Space Suits

By William D Adams

Modern space suits are bulky, uncomfortable, and difficult to repair. If human beings are going to explore and colonize the moon and Mars, they will need something better to wear. Learn how engineer and astronaut Bonnie Dunbar is using her experience to develop the manufacturing techniques to clothe the next generation of astronauts. The books in the Out of This World series feature projects that have won grants from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program (NIAC). The program provides funding to teams working to develop bold new advances in space technology.
