What NASA Astronauts Just Revealed About Next SpaceX Dragon Mission will Blow your Mind!!!

it is always possible we could be back but for now we are ready isaacman and his team seem extremely confident and ready for the Polaris Dawn spacewalk Mission this confidence is understandable because this Mission promises to be more impressive than any previous attempt thanks to the support of the SpaceX Eva suit recently NASA astronauts and the polar Dawn team revealed many fascinating details about the upcoming SpaceX dragon mission especially the Eva suit these insights are sure to blow your mind so let's dive into these Revelations on today's episode of great SpaceX we are only a few weeks away from witnessing the first private spacewalk mission in history as this important Mission approaches many well-wishes have been sent to the Polaris team notably in response to an update about the Eva suit test famous NASA astronaut Chris Hatfield tweeted have a great space flight Jared break new ground open doors return safely reinspach Mission involving four astronauts led by Jared isman will take place at an altitude of 500 km above Earth where they will conduct extra vehicular activity or Evas this will be the highest altitude at which any crude spacecraft has ever operated the team will be in orbit for 5 days conducting research to better understand the effects of space flight and space radiation on human health in a recent update on the Polaris daon website they stated that Polaris Don's spacewalk will Mark both the first ever commercial spacewalk and the first time that four astronauts will concurrently be exposed to the vacuum of space during the approximately twoh hourong operation Mission commander isman and Mission specialist Sarah Gillis will separately exit the dragon spacecraft through its forward hatch meanwhile Mission pilot kid potit and Mission specialist and medical officer Anna Menan will remain seated managing spacit umbilicals and monitoring Telemetry on Dragon's interior displays in fact isaacman previously clarified that the entire duration of the mission would be 2 hours but the astronauts would not be working during that entire time instead each member will work about 20 minutes wearing an Eva suit according to him this will leave the balance of the time for venting repressing and contingencies he added that only one member will go out at a time and they will not be free floating he shared we will be outside the hatch so not a standup Eva and will maintain contact with Mobility AIDS the reason for this is that the primary objective for the Eva is to learn about the suit performance which includes singleand enhance free operations translation as well as Gathering data on thermal management and other eclss considerations indeed with its unprecedented height it will be the best test for them to verify many things but it also presents many challenges with this Eva Mission isman believes that they will intentionally vent away a habitable atmosphere during the mission this is similar to non-air loock Vehicles such as gemini or the Apollo Command Module such an approach is is considered to have many risks moreover at a height that has never been space walked risks also come from the surrounding environment specifically mm ODS or micrometeoroids and orbital debris at lower altitudes these objects are easily burned up upon re-entry but at the upcoming missions altitude nothing can affect them that's why many small objects will appear in the region where they plan to space walk all flying at orbital speeds even though these objects are small they can still damage the spacecraft and possibly the spacit another factor that can affect astronauts is the powerful radiation coming from the Van Allen belts which we've mentioned previously the belts were discovered in 1958 by Dr James Van Allen using data from the Explorer 1 and Explorer 3 satellites there are two main belts the inner belts located about 640 to 9,600 km or 400 to 6,000 Mi above Earth's surface primarily contains high energy protons the outer belt which extends from about 13,500 to 58,000 km or 8,400 to 36,000 Mi above Earth contains high energy electrons the Van Allen belts are a fascinating aspect of Earth's magnetosphere crucial for both our planet's protection from solar and Cosmic radiation by trapping these energetic particles and the challenges they present for space exploration mainly due to the fact that the radiation in these belts poses a hazard to satellites and astronauts spacecraft must be designed with adequate shielding to protect against this radiation occasionally a third transient belt can form as detected by the Van Allen probes in 2013 but back to our main feature if it's a bigger challenge they want they will need a better system especially the spacit which will directly protect astronauts from surrounding dangers that's where the SpaceX Eva suit and its recent important preparations come into play before talking about that please consider giving a like sharing the video and also subscribing to our channel to continue following spacex's development journey and other news from the Aerospace industry now after many years of preparation the Eva suits officially appeared last month with impressive appearances following this this the Eva suit went through many tests such as qualification and acceptance tests CIT tests and Joint Sim tests most recently the players team conducted the final tests with the Eva suit according to the mission website the test was conducted at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas from June 24th to the 28th also on this website the team confirmed completing a series of spacit acceptance tests in preparation for the missions extra vehicular activity or spacewalk marking the final significant Developmental and test milestone for spacex's newly developed Eva suit SpaceX also confirmed on X teams completed a final Eva suit Milestone ahead of the Summer's first commercial spacewalk from Dragon isaacman also chimed in with this may have been our last week at SpaceX for players Don trainy this test is also very special because it marked the first time the playist ston crew wore the space suit in a vacuum environment that allows them to perform tasks such as familiarizing themselves with how the space suit performs in a vacuum collecting SPAC suits and biometric data to assess the overall systems performance in a flight-like environment comprehending the general impacts of pressure changes on their body during pressurized operations giving insight into the various thermal States expected throughout the spacewalk and simulating an elevated metabolic period where the crew should expect workload during the spacewalk as well as a reduced activity period to understand the trend of body temperatures throughout the operation after the test the crew members expressed many emotions isaacman shared it was a profound feeling for our crew to conduct operations in the same vacuum chambers that supported the Gemini and Apollo programs in the 1960s these facilities were declared National historic landmarks because of the history they made then and still today they make history and Advance humankind's capabilities in space we are very grateful to the teams at Nasa and SpaceX who contributed to the development and safe testing of these space suits he added it can be said that the preparations are showing great determination from the SpaceX and Polaris teams improving the Eva suits capacity something that has created a huge change in space suit technology in the approximately 2 years of development many Revelations from Mission members notably isaacman gave us groundbreaking perspectives on the SpaceX spacit it truly shatters many old concept of course when looking at the SpaceX Eva suit the feature that impresses us will definitely be its compactness although heavier than the previous Iva suit the Eva suit still shows a great deal of flexibility unlike NASA's pumpkin suits which musk described as balloons at a party party in space Cas am I invited anyways cers some systems were also eliminated or integrated creating a neat and modern look even when comparing it with the latest SPAC suits such as the lunar space suit produced by Axiom or the spacit meant for Boeing's Starliner spacex's suit appears Superior in both external design and possibly inner systems in 2022 isaacman pointed out many strengths of the SpaceX Eva suits including more safety features redundant O2 circuits cooling insulation mobility and dexterity at the end of the year he updated other features such as life support redundancy sun glare and mmod resiliency the use of polyethylene material also helps the spacit effectively prevent radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt in addition to those outstanding features there are three aspects of the SpaceX Eva suit that I find particularly Superior compared to other space suits the first feature is the protective glass on the helmet while the Iva suit already impressed me with its Advanced helmet design the Eva suit takes it a step further the orange brown glass is striking and makes the suits exterior stand out not only is this feature visually impressive but it also likely includes protective elements to Shield the astronaut's eyes from harmful radiation enhancing both safety and Effectiveness during operations and observations the second standout feature is its integration with starlink space Texas Internet satellite constellation this connection enhances efficiency in communication data analysis and overall mission capabilities traditionally challenging during space walks communication hurdles are now effectively overcome with the SpaceX Eva suit promising streamlined operations not only for current missions but also for future endeavors and lastly the SpaceX Eva suits neatness and simplicity pave the way for unprecedented mass production to send a million citizens to Mars as musk envisions 1 million suits or more must be produced traditional space suits require years to manufacture even a handful making a million seem unattainable while the initial production of the SpaceX Eva suit took over 2 years it sets the stage for efficient mass production in the future and to achieve that future the Eva suit must first overcome numerous challenges beginning with the Polaris Dawn spacewalk Mission with its Superior featur we can only anticipate the remarkable advancements the team will achieve for humanities space exploration send your wishes of success to the mission with go Eva in the comment section down below well folks that's about it for today's episode thank you so much for tuning in and as always this has been Kevin from great SpaceX until next time keep looking up
