SpaceX has announced plans to mass-produce millions of spacesuits to explore the Moon and Mars in the coming years.
The suits will be a key element in building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars, part of SpaceX's broader strategy for human habitation on other planets.
The development of the suit includes important innovations such as an improved design of moving parts and a thermal regulation system. A modern spacesuit helmet printed on a 3D printer is equipped with a head-mounted display and a camera, which greatly expands the functionality of astronauts in space.
A new spacesuit called the Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit will be tested in space this year. These tests will be an important step in preparing for future long-duration missions and plans for multiplanetary life.
