I did really enjoy it! I hope the SkinSuit that I worked on and it’s related technologies help to mitigate the debilitating effects of spaceflight, including bone loss and improve spinal health for astronauts during future exploration missions to the Moon or Mars.

We don’t make the spacesuits – ESA uses the suits developed by NASA and Roscosmos:
For going to space: Sokol spacesuit made by Zvezda http://www.zvezda-npp.ru/ru/node/114 (You would have seen lots of photos of Tim wearing this! He wore it for launch and landing in the Soyuz)
For spacewalking: Orlan spacesuit also made by Zvezda http://www.russianspaceweb.com/orlan_mks.html
For spacewalking: http://www.space.com/21987-how-nasa-spacesuits-work-infographic.html (You saw Tim wear this one on his spacewalk)
Tim trained in all of these suits.
