Abstract	Since the 1930’s, spacesuits have been an inseparable part of space exploration. In the 21st century, with space exploration posing more challenges than ever, space suit design has been on the minds of several corporations in order to facilitate the growing necessity. Out of the several problems of spacesuits, some include bulkiness, water circulation issues, obsoleteness and among others. These problems have various solutions each, however the task that the corporations have, is to consolidate all of these issues solved, into one space suit. These problems are solved by the adaptation of a hybrid mechanical pressure and polyethylene suit. Similar to MIT’s BioSuit, our suit uses mechanical pressure to deliver the necessary pressure, but eliminates the BioSuit’s need for constant heat supply using electric sources by using a phase-change material namely Rubitherm RT82. A polyethylene-nanoparticle layer provides the necessary radiation protection.
