Suit up for the stars: SpaceX’s new era of space fashion

SpaceX is not just launching rockets but a new era of space exploration with its cutting-edge extravehicular activity (EVA) suits. 

As we stand on the cusp of the first-ever private space walk in 2024, let’s dive into the details of this revolutionary gear.

Fashion meets functionality in space

Bridging the gap between style and practicality, SpaceX has unveiled the attire for astronauts embarking on the historic Polaris Dawn mission. Gone are the days of bulky, cumbersome space suits. The new EVA suit blends a sleek design with advanced functionality.

Debunking space suit myths

Popular culture often misleads us with oversimplified depictions of space suits. Contrary to the “goldfish bowl” helmets and easy-to-wear coveralls seen in movies, real space suits are complex, human-shaped spacecraft. They’re equipped with propulsion and life-support systems, making them more akin to deep-sea diving gear than casual wear.

Why not stick with the old suit?

SpaceX’s current intravehicular activity (IVA) suits serve as emergency protection within the Dragon capsule. However, they’re not designed for the rigors of space walks. The new EVA suit is a significant upgrade, offering enhanced mobility, durability and protection against the harsh conditions of space.
