Mars suit
Mars suit or Mars space suit is a space suit for EVAs on the planet Mars. [4] [5] Compared to space-walking in the near vacuum of low Earth orbit, Mars suits have a greater focus on actual walking and a need for abrasion resistance. [4] Mars' surface gravity is 37.8% of Earth's, approximately 2.3 times that of the Moon , so weight is a significant concern, but there are fewer thermal demands compared to open space. [6] At the surface the suits would contend with the atmosphere of Mars which has a pressure of about 0.6 to 1 kPa (6 to 10 millibars). [7] On the surface, radiation exposure is a concern especially solar flare events, which can dramatically increase the amount of radiation over a short time.
