A never-before-seen spacesuit is making its debut with the public opening of a new NASA exhibit, but its reveal is not the only surprise about the Boeing CST-100 Starliner astronaut outfit.
It was also made by a Mythbuster.
A replica of the second ascent and entry suit (AES) selected by Boeing for use aboard its new commercial crew spacecraft is now a part of “Gateway: The Deep Space Complex,” a new attraction opening Wednesday (June 15) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. The “Boeing Blue” garb was reproduced for the exhibit before any examples of the actual ILC Dover-designed spacesuit have been seen by the public.
