I got to test a new spacesuit in the Arctic for NASA’s Artemis missions | My New Moon Suit

Oh my gosh, Jeff is so funny. “If I get snarky my blood pressure goes down.” “It’s like being born.” 😂

Sid's commitment is outstanding! More power to you and the team ... to infinity and beyond!

@sid - she is great engineer glad to see you here congratulations 🙌

Even if you make the test suit lighter so it weighs on earth what the real one weighs on the moon, you still need to pressurise it for tests. The suit gets stiffer when pressurised. One goal of suitmaking is mobility even inside an inflated pressure suit.

Wow, you can tell it’s the last day when only the bathroom tent remains! 😄

😅HODOS - Serpentine!! (Where was his AR headset on the descent while using HODOS?)

What happens when u want to scratch your nose? Yea that's right I'm an engineer.

this was great!!

I’ve worked on Collins equipment before in the Air Force. Still a communication system, even if it does have AR. It’s kind of like an advanced chem suit with a backpack on. I helped back Mars VR on steam for the other test site.

Why not a full test ? He should have rolled down the hill to do and accidental fall and roll test .

Great Video ! Get some of the original Apollo astronauts to test the new suits... Then they can say if they are better or not tor the old (original suits). You should be driving in the Cyber Trucks ! tjl

That landscape looks more like Mars than the moon.

If anyone misses the point of this exercise, and why money is spent doing this on this remote island- First of all, it’s an insignificant fraction of NASA’s budget, and Pascal spends the whole year raising funds as well. But furthermore, the landscape is boundless and largely unexplored, so it’s realistic for traverse research. You end up in surprise situations in that fractal landscape where you know the slope but not the jaggedness and have to use various means to guess.. So they’ll realize safety issues and technologies needed that wouldn’t have come up in a more sterile local environment. They are testing many aspects of the suit and accessories, traverse planning, communication, human stress, etc. Pressurization testing is probably being done elsewhere, maybe unnecessary during this testing phase. I went there five seasons and witnessed a hundred different research projects, all of which were things we need to know before we can spend time on the Moon or Mars safely and do useful activities while we’re there.

Does this suit measure radiation levels at all with the software stuff?

❤❤😊

How is Devon Island? You will only have to worry about photo ops; you’ll never be going to the moon;or anyone else for that matter.

your new moon suit? as opposed to your waxing gibbous moon suit?

No articulated joints. No pressurization. How is this a movement test?
