Technical Specifications

While specific technical details about the suit were not disclosed, it is likely that the life support system was left out to reduce weight under Earth's gravity. The suit is likely based on the Chinese Feitian space suit, which was inspired by the Soviet/Russian Orlan space suit. The new suit may weigh around 120 kg (260 lb) when fully equipped, have a duration of eight hours on its internal systems, and be good for at least 15 uses.

Public Naming Competition

The new suit will be given a name after a public naming competition. The CMSA is calling on the public to submit suggestions for the suit's name, which will be chosen from the submissions.
