Scientists use the Russian Chibis compensation suit for the ISS to calculate equipment for the Moon and Mars.
The Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU) carried out calculations for a cosmonaut suit on the Moon and Mars, Interfax reports.
For their calculations, the scientists used the Russian Chibis compensation suit for cosmonauts, used on the International Space Station (ISS).
According to experts, the impact of the Chibis compensating vacuum suit, designed to work in zero gravity conditions, will be excessive when a person is on the Moon and Mars.
“This result allows us to develop a simpler and more technologically advanced version of the suit for manned missions to the Moon expected in the coming years,” said Doctor of Technical Sciences Alexander Chichindaev, professor at the Department of Technical Thermophysics at NSTU.
ArsTechnica previously reported that NASA, in order to meet the Artemis IV mission schedule, changed the design of the lunar spacesuit.

The Progress MS-33 cargo ship undocked from the International Space Station on September 7 and was sunk in a non-navigable area of the Pacific Ocean. The spacecraft delivered more than 800 kg of fuel, 420 kg of drinking water, 50 kg of oxygen and equipment for the Sun-Terahertz experiment to the ISS.

Scientists at Oryol State University named after I. S. Turgenev discovered that a laser beam can activate singlet oxygen in brain tissue, regulating vascular tone and improving blood flow in target areas without damaging neighboring tissues, which opens up prospects for the treatment of ischemia and other vascular disorders.
