Musk Debuts First Image of SpaceX Space Suit

Elon Musk has shared an image of the suits to be worn by NASA astronauts that will travel on SpaceX equipment to the International Space Station.

“First picture of SpaceX spacesuit,” Musk wrote on Instagram. “More in days to follow. Worth noting that this actually works (not a mockup). Already tested to double vacuum pressure. Was incredibly hard to balance esthetics and function. Easy to do either separately.”

The suits, to be worn by astronauts inside the SpaceX’s Dragon Capsule, offer protection in case the craft depressurizes.
