Revisiting decompression sickness risk and mobility in the context of the SmartSuit, a hybrid planetary spacesuit
Abstract Gas pressurized spacesuits are cumbersome, cause injuries, and are metabolically expensive. Decreasing the gas pressure of the spacesuit is an effective method for improving mobility, but reduction in the total spacesuit pressure also results in a higher risk for decompression sickness (DCS...
