They are creating a new spacesuit to improve astronaut´s life in the space. The characteristics of the spacesuit are:
- it needs oxygen and water
- it protects from cold and dust storm
- it lets you move kind of fast to excavate rocks and gather samples

They are testing different suits to see which one is less heavier and incorporates the minimized technology. The suit is similar to a mini-spacecraft and it is mobile. It´s called NDX-1.

This project is tough. The engineers work during 2-3 years to achieve the success for future astronauts to achieve the success for future astronauts.
