"Even a simple IVA suit needs water survival and cockpit visibility contingencies"
"Suit performance cannot be separated from translation aids and workload planning"
"Lunar EVA required not just survival but sustained human work capability"
"Endurance and traversal demands exposed the need for mobility, dust robustness, and rover integration"
"Dedicated EVA architecture dramatically improved work efficiency vs IEVA"
"Long-life EVA programs shift from design problems to sustainment, anomaly and industrial-base problems"
"Modern lunar design explicitly built around mobility, fit range and maintainability lessons from legacy systems"
"Shows value of integrated survival architecture and the penalty of long-duration IVA wear in a rigidly seated posture"
"Pressurized mobility and re-entry-to-airlock recovery must be a top-level requirement, not an afterthought"
"Rear-entry and semi-rigid architecture remain highly relevant for surface systems and suitport concepts"
"Keep rescue-suit platforms on a managed block-upgrade path instead of deferring subsystem refresh for decades"
"Orbital EVA systems must be treated as maintainable fleets, not isolated suits"
"Rescue suit discipline must be kept separate from EVA product line — do not overbuild IVA with EVA objectives"
"Pragmatic dual-track approach — import to reduce mission risk while demonstrating domestic capability simultaneously"
"Once a suit becomes a fleet asset, lifecycle economics and telemetry matter more than peak performance figures"
"Lunar suit must be treated as a new architecture branch — not an incremental Feitian derivative — due to dust, terrain and thermal differenc…"
"Europe proved the rear-entry rapid-donning concept works — but without a funded anchor mission the architecture never matured"
"Non-traditional partners — sports equipment manufacturers, medical research institutes — can enter human spaceflight hardware through IVA ra…"
