- NASA is sending astronauts back to the Moon and beyond to Mars very soon. To prepare,
they’re heading to Canada’s Far North - to Devon Island and NASA's Haughton-Mars Project - to test their new spacesuits and to train teams of engineers, astronauts, and me! #CBCShortDocs #MyNewMoonSuit

Oh my gosh, Jeff is so funny. “If I get snarky my blood pressure goes down.” “It’s like being born.” 😂
Sid's commitment is outstanding! More power to you and the team ... to infinity and beyond!
Even if you make the test suit lighter so it weighs on earth what the real one weighs on the moon, you still need to pressurise it for tests. The suit gets stiffer when pressurised. One goal of suitmaking is mobility even inside an inflated pressure suit.
Pressurization does add important limitations, but note that a) the experiment focuses on testing the in-suit IT (Information Technologies) system for which pressurization is not critical at this stage; b) the missing restrictions due to pressurization are taken into account anyway in the analysis of the data. Most pressurized suit tests are done in the lab, as doing pressurized suit tests in the field adds huge costs. There will eventually be pressurized suit tests in the field, but later.
@@pascallee291 While I understand these are prototype tests, instead of using uncomfortable and clunky augmented glasses which get in the way (with questionable clarity and field of view), have the developers considered using projection onto the glass helmet (the same tech that has been used for heads-up displays in cars for decades)? Even mounting a small led display either inside the massive glass helmet or on the hand would be a more practical alternative. Ultrathin/flexible displays already exist.
Regardless, really cool to see NASA associated researchers replying in the comments :)
@@phyek Yes, we have.
@sid - she is great engineer glad to see you here congratulations 🙌
😅HODOS - Serpentine!! (Where was his AR headset on the descent while using HODOS?)
I just thought the same!
Hahaha, what a failure 😆 didn't even notice at first.
Just not shown.
What happens when u want to scratch your nose?
Yea that's right I'm an engineer.
Actually that is a thing on the iss EVA suits. They put a small Velcro patch inside the helmet to scratch ya nose
@@Wurtoz9643 Great answer👍👍 I like the profile avatar! 🌊
When I used to be a HazMat Tech we would not have any options for nose scratching. We just had to focus on our work and wait for the itch to go away.
Wow, you can tell it’s the last day when only the bathroom tent remains! 😄
I’ve worked on Collins equipment before in the Air Force. Still a communication system, even if it does have AR. It’s kind of like an advanced chem suit with a backpack on. I helped back Mars VR on steam for the other test site.
this was great!!
If anyone misses the point of this exercise, and why money is spent doing this on this remote island- First of all, it’s an insignificant fraction of NASA’s budget, and Pascal spends the whole year raising funds as well. But furthermore, the landscape is boundless and largely unexplored, so it’s realistic for traverse research. You end up in surprise situations in that fractal landscape where you know the slope but not the jaggedness and have to use various means to guess.. So they’ll realize safety issues and technologies needed that wouldn’t have come up in a more sterile local environment. They are testing many aspects of the suit and accessories, traverse planning, communication, human stress, etc. Pressurization testing is probably being done elsewhere, maybe unnecessary during this testing phase.
I went there five seasons and witnessed a hundred different research projects, all of which were things we need to know before we can spend time on the Moon or Mars safely and do useful activities while we’re there.
You work in this field? Wow.
@NeilEvans-xq8ik No, but I was invited to Devon Island in 2003 to do a music video to promote the idea of humans going to Mars.. there was so much down time since I was last priority for the camera person, that I kept a blog and interviewed some of the scientists and engineers.. then I was invited back four times after that to be somewhat of a photo journalist, as the Mars Projects Coordinator. So my job was to pay attention to every project going on, and get to know them so they'd let me tag along, and get them to communicate the importance of their work to the general pubic.
Great Video ! Get some of the original Apollo astronauts to test the new suits... Then they can say if they are better or not tor the old (original suits). You should be driving in the Cyber Trucks ! tjl
We do consult with Apollo astronauts, and of course with many shuttle/ISS EVA astronauts as well. Apollo astronauts, however, are now in their 80s and 90s, so it's difficult to "get some of the original Apollo astronauts to test the new suits".
Great video @@pascallee291
@@pascallee291 it's ok, they never went there, no even get out from earth planet. ja,ja,ja,
@@irisbaez1972 Correct! They can't even land unmanned ships on the moon easily nowadays. The one landing this week crashed. They usually crash. We're meant to believe they played golf on the moon 50+ years ago! Lol
@@irisbaez1972 - How to tell us you flunked science in high school, without telling us you flunked science in high school....
That landscape looks more like Mars than the moon.
well the moon has no atmosphere so i guess its kinda hard to find someplace on earth that has similar terrain
This site is used both as a Moon and Mars analog. Lots of fundamental commonalities sufficient for our tests: impact crater, barren rocky terrain, wide range of slopes and terrain bearing strengths, etc.
That's where NASA films both the moon and Mars
Why not a full test ? He should have rolled down the hill to do and accidental fall and roll test .
No articulated joints. No pressurization. How is this a movement test?
It's mainly an IT system field test in which movement restriction is not critical for now, but tracked to define mobility requirements.
Yeah depends on what kind pf testing or training you're trying to achieve.
There are analog EVA mission simulation facilities like Biosphere 2 in Arizona that use pressurized suits.
Agree, advancements in material science, microchips and piezoelectric or analogous materials that can strain should enable a suit with much better mobility than Apollo suits
This wasn’t a test of a new spacesuit. This was a test of my patience while I suffered through almost 20 minutes of listening to some rambling youtubber trying to feed his already over inflated ego. More clickbait crap 💩.
Does this suit measure radiation levels at all with the software stuff?
🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤
your new moon suit? as opposed to your waxing gibbous moon suit?
How is Devon Island? You will only have to worry about photo ops; you’ll never be going to the moon;or anyone else for that matter.
How will the suit perform when covered with abrasive electrostatic moon dust from hell?
❤❤😊
Apollo has seen it all. It all.. #unimpressed
You are speaking like it's all new.. Well.. It's all been done before - in vacuum. I'd like to see that fluffy Armani-suit in a vacuum chamber :-D
Space systems undergo a wide range of tests under different conditions at different stages of development. No need to be in a vacuum chamber at this stage when we are just developing an in-suit IT system. On the other hand, it's important to be in the field, doing actual fieldwork, to properly define requirements.
Glados, open map. Wait What ? What you mean the cake is a lie ?
Baggy pants...are so passé!
Thand for travelling in the super secret airlanes (Janet a.l.)....
....what? To soon...?
One of the most mystifying questions I have raised with NASA SpaceX and Elon via Twitter, many moons ago... 👀 How does one toilet in a spacesuit? Will it eventually be a stoma operation for long term suits?
Rudimentary test of systems
This is a wise strategy to test these suits in very cold polar region, but sending many $75,000 Boston Dynamics robonauts that can perform the same functions is a much better (safer) option that do not kill astronauts walking on hostile interplanetary surfaces thru entire Solar System accumulating way more than 80 hours of space walking time like 12 NASA Apollo missions in 1960s/70s. Killing astronauts has proven to generate a lot of lesson learned investigation down time greatly delaying space travel when we have a new work around to beam live-streaming data back to Earth utilizing highly fit-for-purpose humanoid technology to meet exploration objectives to be best of both worlds as this is what Mr. Pizza Lightning would do in The Supreme Kingdom Of Pizza Land.
So I take it you're the type of person who'd rather take a virtual tour of Paris than do it for real yourself?
It's better to test in a vacuum chamber.
That's a different kind of test at a different stage of development. Vacuum testing is not what you start with when you are still defining system requirements.
Is not the moon surface a vacuum for the most part ? A vacuum also makes a good insulator and the suit thermostat will not notice the temperature differnce right away as it will take time for the suit to lose heat or gain it depending on the rate the heat is radiating away or accumulating in the suit. But in an arctic atmosphere the heat loss is immediate since the cold air is making contact with the suit.@@pascallee291

Not liking the tie's color very much. To low energy..., were your personalety says somerhing alse...
It looks to me like old tech. Why does the suit have a transparent glass for the helmet? Shouldn't the entire body be fully protected and the astronaut wear like VR glasses on with a 360 view?
Just like those cool Israeli tanks where they don't have any physical view to the outside, nothing ... but they use VR glasses to have a 360 view around their tank from the inside.
I am not even going into a humanoid drone controlled remotely...that should be how it works actually. ...Elon, are you listening to me? VR glasses for the space suit and no old school glass helmets.
You are welcome
I think the complexity involved in that approach would risk failure with a greater probability than the old tried and tested tech of the glass. Maybe incorporate some VR tech, but always retain a lower tech back up to depend on just in case. At least until we're much better at it.
@@NeilEvans-xq8ikI've seen this tech already working, both on some Israeli tanks and some cars with 360º view and also they have a top view for some of them(very useful for parking the car for example, or to see if the tank or car can fit through some places). It is not new tech, a VR headset would be a plus because it is controlled via head movement. Now that I think about it, the same tech could be used for deep diving(like workers on underwater pipes, internet electric cables, oil platforms etc.)
@@phorias Fair play. It sounds cool. I'll check it out.
Adds a piont of failure. Better to keep things simple.

I don't like this. Too much artsy-fartsy. I want to see more of THE SUIT. Is it more mobile and functional than the Apollo suit? Are the gloves better? etc.
Nobody in this video tested a new spacesuit. This was just another rambling youtubber chasing his quest to feed his over inflated ego.
LOL. I dare you to try it in a vacuum
Lol.
Total BS
Why? Who cares? Not me. Just another time/space reference to keep up time. Useless exercises.
This is a waste of US tax payer dollars
You clearly have zero clue on what you're talking about. NASA annual economic output is multiples of its allocated budget amount, and grand projects like Apollo and Artemis only boost that. Not to mention countless other types of benefits like for science and technology. What they get done with only 0.5% of federal budget is incredible and should be funded more, not less.
There's a lot bigger things we're "wasting tax dollars' on. Nasa is not nearly funded enough.
@@FrankyPi disagree what countless benefits ? I would rather see money in my bank and use it for healthcare or buy a car or whatever and same for millions of others than for space research it's not exciting for me as a scientist to invest in exploring space because there is no water.
