My daughter loves these videos. She's 6 and wants to be an astronaut. 😊
How cute!
Ellie Allegro she will be an astronaut one day
Ellie Allegro hello I'm 10 and I would love to be an astronaut For NASA I love to sometimes simulate science to
Launch the space station like making cloth simulation like the Z2 space suit like drawing images I hope you can reply to my comment And I look forward to see your daughter in space!!!
Don't let her watch Prometheus then.
Same except im not six and im not a girl
Why does the Z2 have knuckle gloves? To fight aliens?
i think it looks like grunts from halo
its just a standard knuckle impact protector. they can be found in many motorcycle gloves and the like
Lol
1st RULE: You do not talk about Astronaut Fight Club.
Aliens are firendly
Mercury Program: Suits by engineers meant to get the job done.
2015 NASA: Fashion designers and neon lights.
I don't even ...
Talk about life support and energy needs, protection and endurance. ... not friggin' fashion
+Bernd Lauert They are getting the fashion designers to work on the prototypes as a way to get people interested in space exploration. Think of it more as marketing and trying to make space exploration cool again (because apparently it stopped becoming cool sometime in the past?) The final designs will likely look much more technical with less emphasis on looking fashionable
Kyle A Exactly!
Bernd Lauert yeah but the need money to make those things were do they get some money to test it public donations
Why would anyone dislike this video? It depends where the suit would be used as to whether the light has utility or not. Shadows are dark in space and on the Moon. A light is handy and hands free as well. As Kyle A and jscott1000 point out: The outer layer is the only thing the public had input into and the covering can have many different looks and still be completely functional. If it looks cool fine.
Really nice to see some of the new concepts. The lighting elements are a nice touch, as long as one can turn them off too. Perhaps some glow-in-the-dark material would be good to harness the sunlight, passively? That could be what that lighted element was, perhaps. New range of motion looks great.
Go search Skechers Nite Owl
NO! WE WANT IRON MAN!
absolutely u r ri8
Lol
Oh man, that Z-2 is pretty sweet!
Does the big light on the Z2 actually serve a purpose?
+sexbad looks like a colony style-casual suit, maybe just to show people where you are.
+sexbad - The cover layer on this suit is not a fully functional design. It's merely to cover up the pressure garment layer and protect it from handling abrasion during testing. With that in mind the idea was to give the public some input into the cover layer design. The lights do not serve a useful purpose other than to look cool.
+sexbad Different colors could be used to identify different crew members. Red- Captain. Blue- Medic. Green-Herb man.

I wanna be an herb man
+sexbad Dont we all...
I think the suits are looking great. I am more excited about how the videos that are being produced are much better!
+Esteban Flores John Streeter has been producing great videos for NASA for years. He just won an Emmy for another video he produced.
I love this video! I've always been very curious about the spacesuits! The ships, shuttles and stations are incredibly cool, but I'm amazed that you can send a human safely out into space with fabric and materials made on our planet! I'd love to see even more! How do the gloves clip on and keep out bad air? What sort of temperature and oxygen control source do they use!? How heavy are the suits? How much training do the astronauts have getting used to the suit before they're sent out for an EVA? Thanks for the video!!
+Danielle Ate the Sandwich - Those are all very good questions. I would love to answer them personally, but take a look at our Suit up site and let me know if you have any questions. www.nasa.gov/suitup
May I ask, what happened to the Mark 3 space suits? It seemed like they would be the next generation space suit not the Z2.
The Mark III is a workhorse. It's still used even today for testing. The reason is because it's a hard suit and hard suits last a long time. The draw back to hardsuits though is that once we strap on a 200lb life support system they are too heavy to walk around on a planetary surface. Among our engineers there is no consensus though which is better which is why we tend to go back and forth between hard and soft and even have a hybrid which has elements of both.
@@jscott1000 First of all thank you for the answer, I have always wanted an answer for that question. But I must add that Mars has less gravity then Earth and if not Mars then the Moon. I personally find that a hard suit (like the Mark III) would be excellent for Moon Missions, while a Z2 like spacesuit would be awesome for the ISS and spacewalks.
Love the TRON suit.
anyone else laughed when the astronaut fell.
Me #extraterrestrialfail
Yes
Yep ✌🏻
When?
Nope. He almost died from his visor and helmate breaking causing a small o2 leak.....
whenever you hear a NASA engineer say "we were able to take some artistic liberties" you know with total certainty that whatever it was was never intended for actual use.
Itching can the hand be pull to scratching the budd
I'm missing electronic sensor in the suit over all the body that could help made the pressure more individual and maybe less weight
How about the shoes? Could it be adjusted if one's feet don't fit well?
Hands on in development is always a plus!!!
the GUI in the "suit control assembly" needs some work. To me it looks like glare from the sun would, all too easily make it difficult to read the text on the screen. Bolder text might help a little..
+Mursku Xenos - We ran out of money before a lot of thought went into the GUI. The next generation will be better. I personally wanted an iPad sized full color display.
In the future, even the spacesuits are getting day one patches.
What happened to those new compression form fitting suits NASA was all hot about. Are they just for other space program for now.
politics, these guys dont want to lose the job they have.
Reserved for the new US Space Force uniforms.
since we can't create artificial gravity how about they include electro magnet's in Boots and small environment controls based upon the one they use in submarine (aka c02 scrubbers and touch controls)
One thing missing in all these projects suits to walk on the surface of Mars, on Moon or other planets is a auxiliary equilibrium system to compensate the inability of our human labyrinth to manege these huge and heavy suits in and non standard earth gravity environment.
A suit to work properly in future off-Earth bases with normal people not so prepared and trained like NASA astronauts for extended periods of time must have one structured active exoskeleton incorporated in the suit (meta materials and/or electric activated materials working like muscles) and linked to an ACTIVE device to provide ultra fast dynamic equilibrium.
Something like a mix with this anti-earthquake systems for very-high buildings and additionally to this system we could integrate an extra device like these modern one or two wheels Segway style transportation devices.
The two systems must be mechanic and electronic linked by the active exoskeleton and work together to active help the astronaut to be stand up and move safely.
The main function of the exoskeleton is to manege the equilibrium of backpack no matter his size or weight giving to the user of the suit the illusion that the survival unit backpack is not there and he only have to manege his body with active help of the suit.
The Segway type segment unit is for fast and/or large dislocations and could be optionally used or not by the user.
I think this design must be seriously considered to be incorporated in future suit designs in long term off-world missions.
I think that Mini computer attached to the suit is really necessary and cool.
Where would you plug in A metal detector, for any surface metals on the moon or mars 🍳
2:09 is this LCDR Alex Dietrich, USN from the documentary "Carrier" ?
Nope, seems to be Lindsay Aitchison, Space Suit Project Engineer at Nasa Johnson Space Center.
Still, quite a resemblance!
yeah I'm not american so my dreams of working for NASA i had were *crushed*
it wasn't easy
Try CSA or the ESA
@@pedrobui.669 they're not almost as popular :
can you freeze the pod at some time or another
Suit that protects your self from the sun?
I can dress me up as a astronaut, but I'll never run into space. What do I do with infinity space?
what if you used bio-luminescent bacteria as light in the suit?
this suits are based on US suits for mobility, and russian suits for heasy insert :with the back door, it's possible to fit it alone who is imposible for standard US suits...
Re 5:00 Is that flexibility at 15psig & +200C?
LMAO!!! ANYBODY ELSE SAW THAT ASTRONAUT TRIP ON 1:45?
On Mars you wouldn't need a space suit as pressurized and large as one for vacuum. You can just use an ultra tight suit that applies pressure directly to the skin
Michael T A mechanical pressure suit you mean.
2:46
Are we sending Quasimodo into space??
عيز اثمع فالم سكس
LOL
Sycabara no
👎🏿
let's wait for SpaceX's design
Same here! I like Elon's style so I know I will like it
But isn't spaceX's suit a intravehicular suit and these prototypes extravehicular ones?
@@victorlacas6649 That's true; Elon's suits are not intended for Lunar or Mars surface use.
@@fairwinds610 I see, thanks for the confirmation ^^
what about the cryo freeze method
its cool idea if we knew how to revive someone from it
The real technological break through will be when we create a pressure suit that is more slim and body hugging, and not so bulky, heavy, and restricting in terms of motion. It'll look more like just a helmet, jacket and pants versus a big balloon shaped personal space craft.
I don't think the technology is quite yet there but we're getting closer.
Fifty0ne If they poured proper money into biomechanical suits like Dava Newman's biosuit, we'd have it ready in short time.
Aren't they also working on a skinsuit?
pretty dumb question.
CavePony pretty dumb profile pic www.wired.com/2014/01/how-a-textbook-from-1882-will-help-nasa-go-to-mars/
what do you call that then
+Joseph Morobitto (hotmojoe) i haven't read the whole thing that you linked me, but i was mostly concerned about radiation and the difference in pressure. the skin suit could blow up like a ballon if it was put in a vacuum.
CavePony still, i said they're working on it, correct? i never said that someone's gonna hop into the vacuum of space tomorrow with it. it's still a prototype, but it's being worked on. therefore not a "pretty dumb question"
Joseph Morobitto i though it was a "pretty dumb question" because i didn't know they were actually working on it. now looking back, it was pretty dumb of me saying that.
Can you guys make a suit that is like power armor?
OOOH. Pretty lights.
The Z2 looks like a futuristic suit with a destiny logo on it.
MarLap2000 It's not futuristic.
this is like something out of a sci-fi film
Now how is NASA going to get this in one of the Tonka Trucks they've been sending to Mars for the last 50 years?
Um dia vai ser eu , e sendo FÍSICA/ASTROFÍSICA COM DOUTORADO EM OUTRO PAÍS PRINCIPALMENTE EUA, ASTRONAUTA E DOUTORA EM ASTROFÍSICA! SCIENTIST!
One day I will be an astronaut and a PhD in astrophysics / astroparticle physics, in another country mainly in the United States, SCIENTIST!
Mars is approaching.
It's interesting.
Victoria Secrets is not sub-contractor?
Track ID? In the beginning
to me, the lunar suits were the best looking ever, this "fancy" black suit with the light looks like it comes from a bad scifi movie from the 60's. the other design looks practical tho.
Would love to see these tested in the harsh climate of Antarctica - not exactly Mars but definitely cold enough.
+Pete Kuhns - Nice idea but the suits we have today are designed to work in specific environments, such as vacuum of space or lunar surface. Current suit would not work well in Antarctica because there is no heat in it except at the fingertips.
+jscott1000 The current suits must operate in +250º in the Sun and -250º in the dark in space. Antarctica wouldn't even come close to testing the limits of the current STS/ISS EMUs.
+hoghogwild - This is not accurate because space weather is different from Earth weather.
First of all, in space you are surrounded by vacuum, which means the only form of heat transfer is radiation. In Antarctica you have conduction and convection due to the very cold air. Our suits would be good insulators, but no where near as good as they are in space.
Second, te cold air would work it's way through all the multi-layers of insulation and there would only be the person's body heat to protect them. There is no heat in the suit other than the fingertips, so a person could easily get too cold. Antarctica would indeed test the limits of the current STS/ISS EMUs.
+jscott1000 I quoted the wrong person sorry.1) There is heat transfer in space by both radiation AND conduction in todays EMUs. I agree there would be greater heat loss in an atmosphere than in space, all else equal.2) The issue is usually getting heat out of a suit, the EMU's use air convection and the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment to deal with the human body's 2 million joule potential. The mean annual temperature of the interior of Antarctica is −57 °C (−70.6 °F). Astros touch thing much colder than that with their feet and hands.
+hoghogwild - in case you don't know I have been working for NASA for 28 years, the last 14 specifically on spacesuits, so I know a thing or two about what I'm saying. I'm not disagreeing with you but you have to understand all the nuances about what you are saying. The EMU cooling system relies on vacuum to operate so would be worthless in Antarctica. The only heat is at the fingertips as I've stated several times. The EMU would be nothing more than a well insulated set of clothes in Antartica and not an operating suit capable of maintaining comfort the way it does in space. If you like We can continue this discussion on www.nasa.gov.
What planet is on 6:25?
Probably Earth...they are maybe training in a part of earth that looks like moon and other planets
Except nobody and nothing can travel into a Second Law of Thermodynamics violation called outer space. Only science deniers claim outer space travel is real.
This is for the people who want them to design power armor like in sci-fi movies and anime.
It's not gonna happen.
For one, there's no weight in space so strength enhancement is utterly pointless. It would also make the suit heavier and more expensive to get into space as well as produce.
The people who genuinely want power armor in space are simply not thinking on a practical level. The kind of EVA suits I'd like to see are ones that allow for more freedom of movement and you don't need super-strong actuators for that.
cadman2300 you don’t get it, we want power armor for earth and other planets with gravity but I still get what your point is and I respect your opinion
The z2 is based more on design rather than actual space stuff
3:39 OH MY GOD AMY ROSE
SONIC FANS ARE GONNA GO BALLISTIC
That what I thought, until I realized it's Ross and not Rose
Future needs Magnetic Levitation Building hanging on Astroid within Vacuum Tube Transportation System (Hyperloop), Solar City into Space Planets etc. NASA, ISRO, SpaceX or CNSA must try this as next mission.
I can instantly see ways the design can be improved. Nasa should have open forums for more brain neuron per problem.
Mr. Garber Absolutely.
I honestly want to be an astronaut. I'd love to be one of the first people on Mars, but I guess the oil field will have to do for now.
You can't say that, if your dream is to explore space as mine is, we should BOTH do it.
@@TiaguinhouGFX well isn’t that sweet
what if a natruto suit
veri veri good working space man and women astronaut disaine veri naice good flay NASA and ESSA
dude why does the z2 look like an among us hunchback model
"we want it to be fashionable and attractive!"
me: "functional and safe, slap a few bumper stickers on it's arse and call it a day"
I’m addicted to spade
Must be so hot going into the desert in a spacesuit as shown in the video :0
+Neebz Suits have air conditioning!
most likely they had the cooling systems in those suits, good way to test that.
How hot is a desert in the summer? 60-70 degrees at max?
How hot is the surface of the ISS when being hit with solar energy? Hundreds of degrees.
Those suits are made to protect and they're testing that right there
We will get to themoon.... eventually
But we already did
I'm still waiting for the day they make the spartan space suit
It looks like an "Orlan" space suit)
Yep, the current NASA suits just take way too much time to put on.
The way you get in looks like power armer
Só tem eu de Brasíleira ? 😕
I like to see a schematic on how that cooling system works the amount of battery power need into an air conditioning system or even a system that would keep that liquid cool or poor warm in the case of it being freezing and the shade of the Sun in space like the Dark Side of the Moon the difference is over 250 degrees Fahrenheit you can bake cookies and that temperature I would love to see them stick an astronaut and a 250 degree oven and then put them in a - 250 degree Sub-Zero environment I wonder how that government would stand up to being superheated supercooled repeatedly
thank you
Amazing
Really nice :)
Black suit is a very bad idea.
Why. I thought it looked pretty good
Because it would be much hotter. (White color reflect more light = much "cooler".) This is my you don`t wear black close in the summer on the beach. Its too hot.
+evilmanua fair enough
On the Moon in sunlight, that's correct. On Mars, it's the other way around, isn't it? A black suit would reduce the need for heating on Mars.
It's actually good idea because the sun will make the astronaut warmer inside
Super
Hello NASA
hang on that was canadarm2
go with the tron design.
And fight for the users???????
I had a little astronaut toy before and the first thing my sister did was burn his feet.☹☹☹
Prototype Space suit that's barely better than what came before. Meanwhile NASA are complaining they are running out of suits. How many prototypes must we see over the decades that don't make it.
Crazy we haven't moved to mechanical pressure. The lack of proper HUDs also.
I think a spray on type of suit would be a better way to go with a bubble type head gear. Much work into developement would need be done no doubt.
"these suits were made for walkin'"
Good thing it has carbon fiber knuckles, in case you gotta knock out some aliens.
I'm waiting them to make one called the P.E.S
Black color No
Pls keep it white
BEAUTIFULL
There will not be one suit! They will be at least two. One made-to-measure for every astronaut. The second more universal that the woman would also manage in it. The first will be able to sustain life for half an hour. Second unlimited time of staying outside the ship.
Hunchback mania.
Use the normal moon space suit but make it orange for mars
Neon-green might be better for visibility.
If it aint broke dont fix it
Vampire boy gee they don’t have long term/long trip EVA suits that work for exploring mars. The suit update is to address this. They are also making thin suits for astronauts to wear in a spacecraft for long duration, interplanetary trips in case they have a decompression incident
I died at 1:45
Me too
Cauz laughing
I still prefer MIT’s Biosuit
Well, as The High Lord Commander, I’d say V7 would be better, as black or dark colored suits are way too much kinetic for space. White reflects light which is a good thing if your an alien.
Believe me when I say traveling to Mars is a BAD IDEA!
That's pretty cute but you never now if your going to space not many people go too space
Lex Goff So one day I'll be home, minding my own business, fall asleep, then what? I just wake up randomly inside a space craft saying "well...I guess you really never do know if you're going to space".

Cool
6:44 I designed that 'flying chair" system in high school back in the 70's. NASA spies must have stolen it.
I've also noticed that my solar shingles have gone into production.
Get your patents kids. You never know.
why can't you just wear scuba tank smh
I believe the suits need to be more bio connected with human anatomy, more direct anatomy data. ports to attach with portal entries until ideas improve, a special skin layer
2:48
among us...
WSC FANS
HI TO ALL OF YOU
Wow
5:22-5:25 Haha! So cute.
