Crayton examines the Hardsuits.

Hardsuit on the rack.
|
From the side the thruster pack is mounted just behind the arms. There are four fans, two on each side mounted at right angles.
|
The Hardsuit is separated just above the leg assembly. The blue band mounted to the bottom of the upper portion is the thruster pack assembly.
|
From the rear you can see the thruster pack assembly with the four variable pitch fans.
|
Here is some of the support equipment.
|
Four upper torsos are readied for assembly.
|
Two suits side by side are placed in racks for easy handling.
|
Transporting the Hardsuit is relatively easy.
|
The suit separates at the joints easily fits into it's storage container.
|
The storage container has preformed foam to keep the components safe.
|
Here are two lower torso components with the legs separated.
|
Once all the segments are packed foam is placed around them for safety.
|
Attach the covers and you're ready to go.
|
Once fitted together the Hardsuit is easily lifted from its cradle.
|
Lift the Hardsuit and pilot overboard and...
|
Lower away!
