“We are in a space renaissance right now, but with that comes new challenges. This is especially true for spacesuits.”
Will Green is a Ph.D. student at
the University of North Dakota. He is collaborating on research
with NASA that is centered on applying breakthrough
technologies to push the boundaries of what is possible with
spacesuits. Will has taken part in analog missions at UND’s
Inflatable Lunar/Martian Analog Habitat as a mission commander and
an EVA ground control officer.
Will’s previous research experience includes
Lunar and Martian dust mitigation strategies, robotic testing of
spacesuit joints, high-performance textile research for spacesuits
and military applications, and inventing an exoskeleton for the
Army Research Laboratory. You know,
Casual space suit stuff to chat about on
Casual Space. 😉
