STP59 - Everything You Need To Know About Spacesuits - With Daniel Klopp from ILC Dover

Written By Dave Giles

This week we're talking about space suits with Daniel Klopp from ILC Dover.

ILC Dover have designed and manufactured all the of EVA suits used by NASA since the Apollo program. NASA decided to try and go in house for Artemis, but they've just opened it up for external bids as it didn't go so well for them... so it's likely they'll continue that partnership.
