New Exosuit With Artificial Muscles Aims to Free Astronauts on the Moon and Mars
A Breakthrough to Ease Movement in Spacewear For generations, astronauts have wrestled with the effort required to move inside a pressurized spacesuit. The same protection that keeps the body safe from the vacuum also creates resistance that makes simple tasks feel like strenuous workouts. A new exosuit, powered by artificial muscles, aims to change that…

New Exosuit with Artificial Muscles Aims to Revolutionize Space Walks
New Exosuit with Artificial Muscles Could Change Space Exploration Generations of astronauts have described the challenge of moving inside a pressurized suit. The very protection that keeps them alive — pressurization — also creates resistance that can sap strength and slow deliberate movement. A new exosuit, tested during a two-week space analog mission in Australia,…
