[i]We're designing the suit for a nominal eight-hour length. Certainly, in the right conditions, the suit could go longer than that. It's a step up from the current-day spacesuits. The current spacesuit is designed to six and half hours at what we call low metabolic rate — basically, how hard you're working in a suit. We designed this suit to a higher metabolic rate and eight hours, which is a pretty huge step up in performance in terms of EVA capability.[/i]
