00:00This is a simulator of NASA's XEMU prototype suit, which is NASA's Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit.
00:07Actually an exact engineering representation of our XEMU, which is our per 100 pounds.
00:13They've made this version that we can take out into the rock yard.
00:16A piece of a rock sample, and so when, you know, our crew get yelled, looking for geology samples, and
00:22so what Angela is dimming.
00:24We stay safe in the suit. The analog helps us understand how to do that.
00:28She's got the tool belt where we can store our different sample collection.
00:32A lot of the focus has been on making mobility improvements, and sometimes incorporating higher performing joints, more mobile joints,
00:41adds weight.
00:42So this suit, and the real version of this suit, is heavier than the Apollo suits.
00:48So back in the Apollo area, they went back in 1969 and 1972, it was the last time we stepped
00:52on the moon.
00:53It was more towards the equator of the moon, sort of more towards daylight areas, and now we're going to
00:58go to the South Pole.
00:59So the big challenge there is the South Pole is largely shadow, so there's a lot of long shadows, and
01:05when you have a long shadow on a planetary body that has no atmosphere, it gets very, very cold.
01:10So, you're changing the volume model, you have to work in the system.
01:21You have to do a really good personality.
01:27you have to
