For Mars, It's the mass...

Good solution to the dust problem, Tom, but that is not the constraint -

It's not the mass of the suit itself, it's all the other goodies - life support, thermal control - that take its mass up to the point at which it becomes akward to impossible to get around in in Mars 1/3 Earth gravity...

Increasing suit work at Ames would compensate for moving the NEO work down to JPL -
