As an intern on the Space Suit Pressure Garment Technology team, you will learn about work required to design, develop, and test extra-vehicular activity (EVA) pressure garments for future spaceflight missions. The work includes testing of prototype hardware in the laboratory, Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL), and other venues to finalize design toward the flight configuration; performing test, analysis, inspections, and demonstrations to verify that design requirements are being met; and preparing for flight operations of the new suit. Additionally, the team continues to perform advanced technology development activities to support lunar and Martian surface suit development. Interns are assigned projects that support the work going on in the team during the semester of their internship. Interns are usually assigned two to three tasks that offer a variety of experiences and utilize a breadth of skills. Past intern projects have included design and fabrication of test support equipment.
