SpaceX's New EVA Space Suits Upgrade Just Shocked NASA & CHINA!

SpaceX isn’t just upgrading spacesuits; they’re rewriting the future of spacewalks. And their boldest move yet? A jetpack. Yeah, you heard that right, a real, functioning, Iron-Man-style jetpack built into a next-gen EVA suit.
While NASA abandoned the idea decades ago after just three risky missions, SpaceX is bringing it back, smarter, safer, and sleeker than ever before.
So, why did SpaceX decide to do this?
How will SpaceX revive it?
Find out the answer in today's Techmap episode!

On September 12, 2024, SpaceX made history with its Polaris Dawn mission by successfully completing the first-ever private spacewalk. This wasn't just a milestone for space tourism; it was a crucial test of SpaceX's next-generation spacesuit technology. Imagine this: you're floating in the vast vacuum of space, and the only thing keeping you alive is the suit you're wearing. That’s exactly what happened. The process began with pressurizing the suit, followed by venting the cabin air to create a vacuum. Once that vacuum environment was established, it was showtime; the astronauts stepped out, relying entirely on the new suit to keep them safe.
And let’s just say, the suit delivered. It performed brilliantly in protecting astronauts in a vacuum, proving SpaceX’s commitment to safety and engineering excellence.

Now, what makes this suit so special? SpaceX calls it a “suit of armor made of fabric.” That’s not just marketing fluff. This EVA suit was designed with advanced joint systems and smart materials that become stiff when pressurized but remain flexible when not, offering a perfect blend of protection and movement. NASA has long aimed for this kind of balance, but SpaceX brought it to life.
This suit also comes loaded with extra seals and pressure valves to ensure stable pressurization, echoing NASA’s priorities around safety and redundancy. Operating at 5.1 psi in a pure oxygen environment, this suit hits a sweet spot: it’s safer than NASA’s older 3.5 psi Shuttle suits and more mobile than Russia’s bulkier 5.9 psi models. That middle-ground pressure dramatically reduces the risk of decompression sickness and keeps astronauts agile during EVAs.
