Pressure Suit RX-2-A
Pressure Suit RX-2-A
This RX-2-A Advanced Extra-Vehicular Suit is an experimental suit that holds its shape and pressure. It was manufactured by Litton Industries who made a series of "hard" suits during the early 1960s. These experimental suits were designed to maintain an almost perfectly constant volume while enabling a full range of body motions. They could operate at higher pressure, which reduced the time-consuming oxygen pre-breathing period before extra vehicular activities outside the spacecraft.
