Description: Official portrait of European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst in an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. Going out? NASA’s fascinating EMU space suit, which we wear to conduct repairs on the outside of the International Space Station ISS in the vacuum of space, is in reality a small but complete space ship. It is based on the Apollo Moon suits, has a jet-pack, and weighs fluffy 350 lbs.
