Sean O’Keefe, University Professor at the Maxwell School, was interviewed by the BBC for the piece, “Upcoming Moon missions spur the search for new spacesuits.”
O’Keefe discussed NASA’s space suit design, saying, “Every variant of every space suit Nasa has ever used was developed in concert with the private sector. Now that the commercial space industry has demonstrated an ability to develop a space access transportation market, these companies will surely come up with new ideas on operational performance characteristics based on their evolving experiences.”
