>After the positive response to the Z-1 suit's visual design we received, we wanted to take the opportunity to provide this new suit with an equally memorable appearance. The cover layer of a prototype suit is important as it serves to protect the suit against abrasion and snags during the rigors of testing. With the Z-2, we're looking forward to employing cover layer design elements never used in a spacesuit before. The designs shown were produced in collaboration with ILC, the primary suit vendor and Philadelphia University. The designs were created with the intent to protect the suit and to highlight certain mobility features to aid suit testing. To take it a step further, we are leaving it up you, the public, to choose which of three candidates will be built.

>Is the design that is selected going to fly to space?
>No, as the Z-series is still in the prototype or non-flight phase. The cover layer of a non-flight suit, which is used for ground-based testing, serves as abrasion/snag protection, a cover for technical details, and to a lesser extent, aesthetics.

They needed a cover for their test suit so it doesn't get zonked up and shit during testing. If you'd pull your head out of your ass and actually read your own quote, that can be inferred.

It's a cover for a test suit so I'm guessing there's less pressure for functionality. They took the initiative to raise a little hype with it the only way NASA knows how to: Hamfistedly, like a nerd with a pony slideshow for his senior project.

Did they have to extend the suits because Americans got larger the past decades? They kind of look like 50's comic superhero clothes made for 21st century space travellers.

>> No.8010663

>>8010605
Nah, they're bulky like that because you can get into them through a door in the back, rather than having to put the suit on one piece at a time. It's way quicker and easier for the astronauts.
