NASA's limited supply of aging EMU suits & the difficulty associated with operating a poorly fitting EMU recently cancelled the first all-women spacewalk in history. 3D printed hard suits like ours are easier to make & operate, allowing productive EVAs for all sizes and genders.

Our team members were just 6 years old when the Opportunity rover launched for the Red Planet. Congrats to the @NASAJPL team at the end of your incredible mission. We'll miss you, Oppy!

Today we completed our final fit check before manufacturing our final prototype! The low-precision process we use for fit checks doesn't allow us to print the precise connections between suit parts, so we hold the suit together with an engineer's favorite adhesive - duct tape!

We're thinking of Neil Armstrong and @TheRealBuzz today on the 49th anniversary of their moon landing. Our research is helping to prepare for a long duration return to the moon and beyond!

Today was a busy day of work for the team as we evaluated a new 3D printed bearing in the glove box and began construction of our robotic test rig. We are continually working towards a full prototype that we hope to debut next fall!
