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.
Does this indicate that the atmosphere within Dragon and the EVA suits is 100% O2? Or is the concern here to mitigate risks if the atmosphere happens to be 100% O2 in an emergency situation?
