46 EVAS – EVA Suit Critical functional elements: pressure shell, atmospheric and thermal control, communications, monitor and display, nourishment, and hygiene Current suit is much too heavy and cumbersome to explore the Martian environment ILC Dover is currently developing the I-Suit which is lighter, packable into a smaller volume, and has better mobility and dexterity

47 EVAS – EVA Suit I-Suit specs: –Soft upper-torso –3.7 lbs/in 2 (suit pressure can be varied) –Easier to tailor to each individual astronaut –~65 lbs –Bearings at important rotational points –Greater visibility –Boots with tread for walking on Martian terrain –Parts are easily interchangeable (decrease number of spare parts needed)

48 EVAS - Airlock Independent element capable of being ‘plugged’ or relocated as mission requires Airlock sized for three crew members with facilities for EVA suit maintenance and consumables servicing There will be two airlocks each containing three EVA suits Airlock will be a solid shell (opposed to inflatable) The airlock will interface with the habitat through both an umbilical system and the hatch

49 EVAS – Umbilical System Connections from the habitat to the airlock and rover will be identical Inputs from habitat to airlock/rover (through umbilical system) –Water (potable and non-potable) –Oxygen/Nitrogen –Data –Power Outputs from airlock/rover to habitat (through umbilical system) –Waste water –Air –Data
