In an interesting way to do science on the cheap Astronauts are throwing an equipped old spacesuit out of the space station as a rudimentary sattelite.
“SuitSat is a Russian brainstorm,” explains Frank Bauer of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “Some of our Russian partners in the ISS program, mainly a group led by Sergey Samburov, had an idea: Maybe we can turn old spacesuits into useful satellites.” SuitSat is a first test of that idea.
