Sleek new commercial spacewalking suit @SpaceX.

• what pressure is inside the suit?
• how supple is range of motion when pressurized?
• where does the umbilical attach?
• can you see/access the umbilical to tend it?
• how to attach to structure to free up hands for work?
• spark sources in 100% oxygen?
• diaper?

Hi Chris ~5.1

• always the challenge but mobility and dexterity a big focus throughout dev
• standard suit and dragon umbilical attachment points with additional tether and secondary O2 and avionics ports.
• yes
• objective is primarily a suit test matrix and there is a hands free demo using foot mobility aid
• part of qualification testing
• 2hr op but if you gotta go, you gotta go

No units given for suit pressure, but presumably psi.

Thanks Jared - if I can be of any help, please just ask. I’m excited for you and your crew and a useful new EVA suit. You’ll learn so many unanticipated things: have margin, keep everyone safe. And purposefully take time to notice just what a cool new human experience spacewalking is.
