The technological challenge which must be overcome if man is to work outside the mother spacecraft is considered. Within the context of a space suit system hardware architecture, the key requirements are discussed and a baseline subsystem design proposed for operations from the Hermes spaceplane. The technological issues and in particular the levels of technological maturity associated with this baseline are assessed in order to appraise the readiness of European industry to respond to extravehicular activity needs. With due consideration to the magnitude of the development required, a plan is proposed for a European space suit system. Close consultation with U.S. and/or Soviet specialists is a possibility and technology transfer is addressed.
