The next generation of suits will be more flexible, versatile and durable.
"History will be made with the suits when we get to the moon. We will have our first person of color and our first woman that will be wearers and users of these suits in space," Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA Johnson Space Center, said,Unlike previous space suit contracts, this one is for renting the suits for specific missions. This is a result of NASA's internal development program, xEMU, repeatedly not being able to deliver a completed product.
