As a trusted industry leader and provider of astronaut spacesuits for NASA throughout history, Collins Aerospace is proud of its long-standing legacy in delivering complex aerospace solutions across air and space domains.
Collins Aerospace has been the leading spacesuit provider since the inception of NASA spacewalking activity. Beginning with successful operations of the Apollo Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) spacesuit, Collins has led the way in space exploration through the space shuttle program spacesuit, the Extra Vehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), which still enables astronauts to explore and operate the Space Station in Low Earth Orbit today.
Serving NASA for over 50 years, the Collins Aerospace EMU has facilitated over 110 missions with hundreds of unique EVA crew members and counting. Our suit has been an integral part in over 280 spacewalks including the longest spacewalk in history at 8 hours and 29 minutes, the first deep space EVA and the first boots on the moon.
The Collins Aerospace EMU leveraging the full suite of Collins Aerospace technologies and capabilities incorporates multiple complex systems including environmental protection, mobility, life support, communications, and power. Collins is proud to provide these capabilities through our legacy EMU program and further leverage these technologies throughout the full suite of space capabilities – life support and environmental systems, as well as power, orbit control and launch systems.
