Abstract
The paper surveys, firstly, the history of pressure suit and space suit construction in Britain, and gives the locations of historic suits that could be reverse-engineered. Secondly, the requirements for space suits in the “New Space” era are considered. Thirdly, the work currently being done in Britain on space suits is considered, together with the possibilities for space suits as products that could be manufactured in the United Kingdom for domestic use and for export. Keywords: Pressure Suits, Space Suits, Extra-Vehicular Activity
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the British Interplanetary Society (JBIS) is a technical scientific journal, first published in 1934. JBIS is concerned with space science and space technology. The journal is edited and published monthly in the United Kingdom by the British Interplanetary Society.
Although the journal maintains high standards of rigorous peer review, the same with other journals in astronautics, it stands out as a journal willing to allow measured speculation on topics deemed to be at the frontiers of our knowledge in science. The boldness of journal in this respect, marks it out as containing often speculative but visionary papers on the subject of astronautics.
