Abstract
NASA is currently seeking upgrades for the current extra-vehicular mobility unit (EMU). The water connector for the liquid cooling and ventilation garment (LCVG) has been shown to be a point of potential failures for the exploration space suit. Mainstream proposes to develop an upgraded water connector that eliminates leakage, performs over long-term cycling, and maintains strict water quality levels. In Phase I, Mainstream will design, prototype, and test an upgraded LCVG water connector, and will perform water contaminant studies. In Phase II, Mainstream will finalize the manufacturing technique and perform all reliability, life, and space-readiness tests.
