Elon Musk’s New High-Tech Spacesuit thrills scientists’ minds!

If you are going to go to space one day, perhaps the most essential thing to take with you may be the spacesuit.
Spacesuits are the most important tool for astronauts working in harsh space and planetary environments; suits keep crewmembers alive and allow them to perform exploration, construction, and scientific tasks on a routine basis over a period of several months.
Put simply, they are like small spacecraft and protect us from dangers in space.
Thus, it is not surprising that Elon Musk’s space company, SpaceX, the current ruler of space, is building its own space suit.
Under the ingenious leadership of Musk along with a strong financial background as well as a seasoned technical team, SpaceX’s new high-tech spacesuit thrills scientists’ minds!
But what exactly is SpaceX’s spacesuit superior to others?
And why does it embarrass NASA?
Let’s find out in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
Revealed earlier this year, the Polaris Program is a sort of hybridization of orbital spaceflight tourism and technology development and has one primary goal: to “rapidly advance human spaceflight capabilities.”
Created in partnership with SpaceX by billionaire and Shift4 Payments founder Jared Isaacman, who also funded and flew on SpaceX’s first private Crew Dragon launch, Polaris aims to pick up where Inspiration4 left off last year.
For Crew Dragon, SpaceX has already developed an ‘intra-vehicular activity’ or IVA pressure suit that all Dragon astronauts must wear during mission-critical maneuvers. In the event of capsule depressurization, the suits would be able to keep Dragon astronauts alive inside the capsule for at least a few days, supplying them with clean air and maintaining enough pressure to avoid altitude sickness (or worse).
However, because IVA suits generally prioritize unpressurized mobility, the astronauts inside them can do very little when the suits are fully pressurized. At sea level, every person on Earth is subjected to standard atmospheric pressure, which amounts to about 101 kilopascals or 14.5 pounds per square inch. In a spacesuit, the suit itself must maintain a pocket of air at similar pressures, ultimately meaning that the outer skin of a suit must resist the same force. To put that into context, even operating at the absolute minimum pressures that humans can realistically tolerate and use (4-6 psi), simply moving one’s arm in an IVA suit could require hundreds of pounds or kilograms of force.
