An extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) includes a resonant coil on a surface of the EMU to be coupled to a second resonant coil affixed to a structure via a resonant magnetic field. The EMU also includes a receiver in the EMU coupled to the resonant coil to provide a direct current (DC) voltage based on the resonant magnetic field. A battery in the EMU is charged based on the DC voltage.

Armor attached to a component of an atmospheric suit that maintains a specific atmosphere within the suit includes an armor component to absorb a predefined amount of energy. The armor also includes one or more standoffs to attach the armor component to the component such that all or most of the armor component is offset from the component.
