EVA

EVA refers to Extravehicular Activity, commonly known as spacewalking, a crucial aspect of space exploration where astronauts work outside a spacecraft. Key to this is the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), a spacesuit that provides life support, environmental protection, and mobility for astronauts. Companies like ILC Dover, Collins Aerospace, and Axiom Space are involved in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of EVA suits and tools, supporting missions for NASA and the International Space Station (ISS).
