Re: Command/Control Pressure Suit

The C/CPS was a Boeing Spacesuit Design and it has plenty of drawbacks. Newer designs offer better mobility and weight. Here is my first attempt at putting and images up:

The Dover I-Suit offers possibly the best compromise between mobility and durability that NASA has been willing to investigate. But, Honeywell's MCP if actually tested would possibly offer the closest to nude range mobility...

If the image didn't appear try... <a=href "http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/xa/advanced/Images.html">http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/xa/advanced/Images.html

BTW, the I-Suit is still to heavy for a person of normal strength to lug around (about 200 pounds).
