AIR COMFORT

Astronauts usually have difficult adjusting to a space suit so this is where my invention comes in. My suit or exoskeleton uses padding and laser sensors to adjust the sizing inside the suit. It contracts with stored air inside the suit to mold into the astronaut's desired comfort. The suit acts within the original suit acting now as an outer shell and stretches onto most body parts. Using memory foam as padding to achieve maximum comfort fo the astronaut, this suit will give an easier way to put the suit as well as fitting into it.

That is a FANTASTIC idea, Junsoo - you are absolutely right that astronauts' suits are cumbersome at best and will therefore always constrain their movement range - your idea is really interesting. I wonder what CSA will think! Let's find out :)
