Michael Hemsworth — January 28, 2017 — Tech
The new Boeing Starliner is set to start being used next year, so the new Boeing Starliner Astronaut Space Suit has been unveiled as the new suit that passengers will wear. Featuring a deep blue hue, the space suits offer an enhanced ergonomic level of comfort and offer a better range of motion than the previous suits. They are 10-pounds lighter and designed to be worn on exit and reentry, and will allow water vapor to escape while keeping air within the suit.
The Boeing Starliner Astronaut Space Suit has a new helmet that keep the visor incorporated within, while the new gloves on the suit are touchscreen-friendly. This accommodates the new technology that will be utilized on the new spaceship.
