SpaceX has unveiled a new spacesuit designed for extravehicular activities, tailored for the Polaris Dawn mission.

The new EVA spacesuit is an adaptation of the existing IVA suit, featuring enhanced mobility, a 3-D-printed helmet with advanced technology, and upgraded safety elements.

Polaris Dawn is set to launch in summer 2024, aiming to be the first commercial mission to conduct an astronaut spacewalk.

The mission's objectives include studying the impact of space conditions on human health and testing a new laser communication system for Starlink satellites.

Delays in the launch schedule have been attributed to the development of the new EVA spacesuits.

Beyond its scientific and technological goals, the mission also has a philanthropic aim to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

The Polaris Dawn mission is seen as a step towards expanding human space travel capabilities, potentially leading to future missions beyond Earth's orbit.
