Collins Aerospace Tests Next-Generation Spacesuit for NASA in Microgravity Flight
- Collins Aerospace tested a next-generation spacesuit for NASA aboard a microgravity aircraft to simulate weightlessness
- The test was a key milestone in developing the suit to replace the current spacesuit used aboard the International Space Station
- The new suit is intended to support continuing space station operations and scientific research in low Earth orbit
- Further testing will be done in a vacuum chamber and underwater to simulate space conditions
- The suit aims to advance NASA's spacewalking capabilities for station maintenance and operations
