Good Morning, Empty Spacesuits of the ISS. Be Seeing You.

Posted by mistergroonk in Photography, Space on July 22, 2010

Ever wonder how a cosmonaut does laundry?

Keep wondering. The folks in the International Space Station are doing something else here.

Dubbed Suitsat-1, the unneeded Russian Orlan spacesuit filled mostly with old clothes was fitted with a faint radio transmitter and release to orbit the Earth.

Lunar Space Suits are the Latest Fashion

Posted by mistergroonk in Space, Technology, The Future on June 18, 2008

NASA has selected a company to design and outfit new spacesuits made specifically for lunar exploration. The Constellation Space Suit System contract, announced last week, is a critical step in sending a manned mission to the moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972.

“We’ve now got all of our prime contracts in place,” said Jeff Hanley, manager for the Constellation program at Houston’s Johnson Space Center. He said he expects to have American astronauts “on [the] moon by end of the next decade.”
