Aurora delivers space-suit simulator

Aurora Flight Sciences, which has a production plant in Columbus, Miss., has completed delivery of a Space Suit Simulator to NASA following Phase II of a Small Business Innovative Research contract with aeronautic professors at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Cincinnati. S3 was developed for NASA space research and training. Aurora developed the lightweight simulator to provide run in conjunction with NASA's Extra-Vehicular Mobility Unit (EMU). S3 is adjustable and is tentatively scheduled to be university field-tested before the end of summer. Source: Aurora Flight Sciences, Aug. 19, 2013.
