A short film focussing on the EVA (extravehicular activity) Space Suit 2000. Using the visual examples of EVA during the Hubble servicing and Mir repair missions, the importance of space suit function is highlighted. Development of the joint RKA (Russian Space Agency) and ESA suit is put into a context of increased EVA-hours with the setting-up of the International Space Station. The suit is compared to existing EMU and Orlan designs.
