Hi everyone,
Apologies for the lack of spacesuit images! We actually found that we couldn't get permission to post the photos on our website. Thank you for the recommended sites - you can see more by clicking on the link within the segment. Thanks!
I also was disppointed at the tiny thumbnail. I will look at the link above to get better idea. Thanks for the forward thinking ....sounds like a really cool idea
thanks for the link to the page with the photos of the suit. i had a similar letdown in looking for photos on this website. appreciate your sharing the results of your search!
On the broadcast they said you could see photo(s) of the spacesuit on this website (studio360.org), but all you get is a tiny thumbnail. After all the excitement and explanation on the broadcast segment, I was quite disappointed that there was not more information or photos here.
After some searching, I found this page with more info on the new suit. --

At the top of that page is a link to this gallery -- http://mvl.mit.edu/EVA/biosuit/biosuit_images/index.html
with more (small) photos, as well as images of older conceptual designs & details from Natick Soldier Center and others.
Here is a link. Maybe Dr. Newman could tell us if this is what she had in mind?
