Personal suit ASSET
The personal suit ASSET in TYRVAQ's long-term person-centered space direction.
FIELD DOSSIER / TQ-14
Suit / personal space research
- Target mass
- Mass budget pending
- Target size
- Wearer-fitted envelope
- Fit / configuration
- Custom anthropometric fit
Complete suit, breathing supply and thermal hardware must be budgeted together.
No human-rated suit design is frozen. Numeric mass and body clearances await the life-support trade study.
CURRENT STUDIES & ORIGINAL REFERENCES
Every angle. Every detail.
Protection around the person
The proposed responsibilities include pressure containment, breathing support, temperature control, wearable interfaces and connections to qualified maneuvering hardware. They need a separate human-rated requirements and qualification path.
A connected suit
VANTARA SOL provides the ocular interface, NIRVANA routes authorized audio and haptic cues, CORE hosts continuity and resource state, and OPHAN may add viewpoints. Essential suit functions stay under independently engineered safety controllers.
Compact service connection
The concept studies a stowed service stem for roaming and an extended interface during verified docking. Capture structure carries loads independently of fluid, power and data connections. Independent valve, seal and engagement checks precede transfer.
Reachable recovery
A recovery plan considers breathing supply, CO2 removal, cooling, electrical power, propellant, relative motion, station state and uncertainty. The limiting resource must remain visible; a nearby-looking station is not a guaranteed refuge.
