Event Keynote: Richard Rhodes, Spacesuit Engineer, NASA Advanced Spacesuit Development Team
Richard Rhodes is a graduate of The University of Texas as Austin and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is currently a space suit engineer with NASA’s Advanced Spacesuit Development Team, creating the next-generation spacesuit astronauts will use on the moon: the eXploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or xEMU. Rhodes described the challenge of building the suit to MIT Technology Review, saying, “Our main goal is that the crew doesn’t even think about us. They put the suit on, and they do their work — the science, the exploration — and do not even think twice about how mobile they are or how effectively they can work. That’s a tall order, but we’re trying to get as close to that as possible. We want to be invisible.”
