#moon spacesuit

[magentapink-art]

Another redone/ updated sci fi spacesuit design of a design I drew around 2 years ago although this one is a more realistic take with mostly currently plausible technologies.

I haven’t named this one but it’s intended to be for use in very low gravity vacuum environments such as moons and asteroids, leading to features such as weighted crampons to shift the astronaut’s centre of gravity lower.

Concept-wise it’s largely based on NASA’s xEMU suit in general but with more aesthetic considerations put in while trying to keep some of the functional features where they are. Technically speaking Adam Savage did this in his spacesuit costume series but this is my take on this.

More in-depth explanation below, note of warning it’s very long and technical as usual.

This spacesuit, as I said above is intended for use in low gravity vacuum. It is a rugged, highly resistant design meant for first human expeditions to new or previously less explored locations so accounts for unexpected conditions, although at the cost of being fairly more bulky.

First of all it is back entry, but unlike the Orlan suit the hatch/back panel doesn’t hinge, instead it entirely comes off when removed. The hatch panel includes the life support system and the helmet, although the helmet can be detached from it. The fact that such a large portion makes up the hatch makes the opening for entry larger and thus easier to get into. Lights are attached to either side of the head on the hatch panel. The life support part of the hatch has handles on the sides to assist with attaching and removal of the panel. The panel has a raised ridge/collar around the base of the helmet to protect the connector rings from impact.

The helmet has a gold coated sun visor that can be manually lowered, and the helmet visor itself is also openable. Comms are integrated into areas around the neck in the hatch panel, instead of being a separate headset which helps with reducing points of failure and also reduces strain on the neck.

The arms are mounted slightly forward to help allow more motions in front. Constant volume convolutes are used in the shoulders and elbows to allow motion. The wrists have a rotating connector ring. A wrist mirror on either side allows the astronaut to read labels on their own suit controls. The gloves have rubber fingertips and a fingernail-esque wedge attached to the tip for better grip of small objects. A seal located inside the arm of the suit allows the gloves to be separated into a their own pressure zone, and dials on the gloves allow this area to be put into a lower pressure for more hand flexibility (you don’t breathe with your hands so technically speaking you don’t need as much pressure there), although there is an automatic timer that will fully pressurise the gloves after a set amount of time to prevent swelling or bruising.

The torso segment of the suit is a hard shell, and because the entry point is not located here it allows for convolutes to be added for waist flexibility. The chest of the suit holds the control panel which can control temperature, lights, the crampons and other features. A sample collection case can be worn over the hip area, or it can also be used to attach a belt for tools. A tab on either side of the hip joint helps keep this in place. Tethers or safety lines can also be attached here.

The legs of the suits rotate at the hip and have knee convolutes. A guard over the knee allows astronauts to kneel and to prevent abrasion. A pair of dust covers over the calves of the suit help to keep dust off the boot connectors.

The boots have a pair of weighted crampons worn over them to help anchor astronauts to the surface in low gravity. The spikes are retractable to prevent damage to the spacecraft floor. The crampon also has a metal plate to protect the top of the foot. It isn’t visible here but the crampons attach with a similar sort of mechanism to snowboard bindings. The suit can also be used without the crampons like if it were to be used in higher gravity locations or in microgravity where they do not need to anchor themselves down.

Inside the suit, it has the typical internal components such as a drinking water supply, sweat wicking and cooling layers, and a liquid waste collection system.

The fact that this is somewhat based on an existing suit design means this explanation isn’t as egregiously long as I anticipated.

Also the OC wearing the suit here is Teira. Basically the astronaut OC I draw whenever I need an astronaut most of the time unless I have a specific reason to use someone else.

This is the older version of the design, not much has changed aside from the colour distribution (I got rid of the large areas of red), the crampon mounting is visible, the latching systems are more exposed (which is a bad idea they don’t look very stable), there is a comm headset, and the anatomy in the drawing is not as great as I thought it was at the time. SPACEMILK is the name of the short story I wrote where this suit was used since I don’t have a name for the suit. Suggestions are welcome.

Nah fr like idk if I’m remembering this right but aydin barely knew Alex no? Like sir what is this stupid revenge plan of yours lol. Like if you want revenge so bad and you are bored take it on those weird parents of yours . And the way he was calling her “the artist “ and when he said “ she’s a fucking Viking “ I couldn’t stop laughing lmaoo so cringe .

Man, I couldn't agree more!

Anyone can correct me, but as far as I can remember, the story goes:

As a college freshman, Alex and her roommate got along great. Best Friends. So much so, that when the roommate was on a video call with her boyfriend, Aydin, she and Alex started touching each other while he was watching.

Aydin was so taken by Alex that he wouldn't let it go, and eventually the roommate got jealous, took it out on Alex, started rumors about her that ruined her reputation with friends and she somehow lost her scholarship.

Alex transferred to Trinity College and started escorting so that she wouldn't have student debt. Meanwhile, Aydin was trying to stay away from her (at this point, they have never met in person? I think?), and be the good son his father wanted. His father arranged a marriage for him, but he couldn't go through with it. He only wanted Alex. But by the time he was ready to go to her, she'd already saved herself and didn't want him. But she really did. But she wasn't ready to forgive him for abandoning her when his girlfriend was sabotaging her entire life..?

Oh, and he wanted her to stop escorting because that was gross - letting other men touch her (did he forget where he met her? Or was that okay because it was his girlfriend and for his pleasure?). And Alex refused because she wasn't going to let anyone else pay for her way, or let a man tell her what she was going to do (even though her plan was to eventually stop escorting anyway.) She was an fully independent woman who didn't need anyone's help.

I think?

I don't understand their relationship at all. They'd never even met in person before they decided that was the person for them. I mean, even Kai and Banks spent more time together before they got married, and their timeline is insanely short. The whole thing echoes the same idea that was started in Corrupt, which is that Alex has some sort of magnetism that draws people to her, and even though her attitude is in your face all the time, it's impossible to hate her because she's just so warm and delightful. Give me a break; she can't be this perfect.

Aydin planning this whole thing because Alex didn't want him even though he'd never really spent time with her screams pathetic to me. Sir, kindergarteners act more mature than this. And the fact that he was right and Alex wanted him all along, therefore making everything that happened in Nightfall seem worth it. Noooo.

He could have ruined Emory's life, but oh, it's okay because he was so in love with Alex and that's understandable🤩

And don't even get me started on the three pages of Emory just sitting there narrating while horsemen go all out defending Alex, demanding a large wedding and whatever else, for their darling. Meanwhile, she's in the room giggling about how cute he is. Gag. My patience for Alex had long expired by that point, but that was the final nail in the coffin. We just didn't need it, when there was so much between Will and Emory left untouched.

I mean, I'm more relaxed about Alex than most around here, but I really have no patience for Aydin. However, I've said before, that I think his story arc would have been helped if he'd been at least in his thirties during his time in Blackchurch. Not that I would've liked him - just that it would have made more sense. He still sucks either way.

blinks cutely i'm doing art fight this year <3

[image description: an introductory page featuring the artist's persona for art fight. they are a humanoid figure wearing a white space suit. instead of a face, in their helmet is a dark blue space-like background with white, purple, and red stars. he has two white stars for eyes. text on the right provides more information. the artist goes by artemy, cassie, or elysium. she has humanoid and anthro characters, and prioritises revenges, attacks and friendly fire in that order. /end description]

Have got to get around to throwing up some more ZEXAL thoughts I've put elsewhere but suffice to say, knowing the pain of losing Durbe, Merag, Gilag, and ALITOOO, the amusement of Vector being Vector throughout it all, and the absolute rage Nasch has for him after that, I'm in deep
