NASA's Next-Generation Spacesuits - A Behind-The-Scenes Look - Nasa

#CNBC
NASA has been using the current spacesuits on the
International Space Station for decades and they are
showing their age. The agency has had issues not
only with finding the proper sizes to fit its increasingly
diverse astronaut corps, but also with degradation of
some suit components. Now NASA is turning to two
commercial companies: Axiom Space and Collins
Aerospace, a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies, to
build and maintain its new generation of spacesuits
Under the Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services
Contract, or xEVAS, NASA is providing Collins and
Axiom, along with a number of their industry partners,
with up to $3.5 billon through 2034. CNBC got a
behind-the-scenes look at the new suit that Collins
Aerospace is designing in collaboration with partners
ILC Dover and Oceaneering. NASA hopes to use this
new suit on the International Space Station by 2026
