SpaceX isn’t just launching rockets, it’s ushering in a new era of space exploration with its cutting-edge Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suits.
As we’re on the cusp of the first-ever private spacewalk in 2024, let’s dive into the details of this revolutionary piece of equipment.

Debunking space suit myths
Popular culture often misleads us with overly simplistic depictions of spacesuits. Unlike the goldfish helmets and easy-to-wear suits seen in the movies, real spacesuits are elaborate human-shaped spaceships. They are equipped with propulsion and life support systems, making them more like deep-sea diving gear than everyday wear.

Why not stay with the old suit?
SpaceX’s current intravehicular activity suits (IVAs) serve as emergency protection in the Dragon capsule. However, they are not designed for the rigors of spacewalks. The new EVA suit is a significant improvement, offering improved mobility, durability and protection against the harsh conditions of space.
