SpaceX's first official image of astronaut suits is used by SpaceX

This astronaut suit is not as bulky as we used to imagine at all.

Recently Elon Musk has announced the official image of the astronaut suit used by SpaceX in his personal Instagram missions. This suit will be used by astronauts from NASA on the Dragon Capsule to fly to the International Space Station ISS. According to Elon Musk, more specific images of this outfit will be announced in the next few days.

The most noticeable point is that the suit has a very compact design, which emphasizes the flexibility to move in place of the bulky of traditional astronaut suits. This suit is the product of Jose Fernandez, a designer working in Hollywood. He is famous for the superhero costumes used in Batman v Superman, and Captain America: Civil War.

Also according to Elon Musk, it is very difficult to ensure that the clothes are fully functional but keeping the necessary functions. At the same time, this suit has been tested in a vacuum.

Image leaked on Reddit from 1 year ago.

A year ago, unofficial images of SpaceX's astronaut suit appeared on Reddit and attracted a lot of interest. And the image published by Elon Musk is very similar to the images on Reddit at the time. Perhaps the "master" of that day on Reddit is in the hands of SpaceX?
