Stowaway (2021) Drs Kim and Levinson prepare to scale to the propellant tank. This makes some sense, though even this equipment needs to be modified for use by astronauts’ thick gloves. In Stowaway (2021) astronauts undertake unplanned EVAs with carabiners and gear akin to mountaineers use. (Narrator: We don’t.) Mountaineering gear We’d also want to see some AI safeguard features, to return the spacewalker to safety when things go awry. We might also expect to see some tunnel in the sky displays to help with navigation.

(Or sticky hands.) We can think of maneuvering through space as similar to piloting a craft, but the outputs and interfaces have to be made wearable, like wearable control panels. First, if your EVA never needs you to leave the surface of the spaceship, you can go with mountaineering gear or sticky feet. The survey shows several types of mechanisms for this. One of the most basic tasks of extravehicular activity (EVA) is controlling where the wearer is positioned in space. In addition to protection and provision, suits must facilitate the reason the wearer has dared to go out into space in the first place. Whatever it is, it ain’t going to construct, observe, or repair itself.
