Starliner Spacesuit

The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI) is showing off Boeing's new Starliner spacesuit.  MSI visitors can also see the new material researchers hope will lengthen astronauts' time on the lunar surface.

These items will be on display through July 31 in exhibit's Latest Lab, which is dedicated to showcasing the newest wearable prototypes across industries.

The Starliner suit includes:


  • Touchscreen-sensitive gloves and integrated shoes, similar to cross-trainers
  • Strategically located zippers that shifts the suit's shape based on whether the wearer is sitting or standing
  • A soft helmet and visor incorporated into the suit rather than the previous bulky, detachable iterations


I added some artsy effects to make the image more interesting.
