20220019078 · 2022-01-20 ·

A system may include a space suit helmet. The space suit helmet may include a surface structure, an inner surface structure, and a waveguide display. The inner surface structure may be configured to maintain an oxygenated environment within an interior cavity of the space suit helmet, wherein a user is able to see through the inner surface structure and the surface structure. The waveguide display may be implemented at least one of in or on the space suit helmet. The waveguide display may include a waveguide and an optical system configured to project images at least through the waveguide to be displayed to the user.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH SUBLIMATOR AND ADSORBENT BED

A system includes a filter device that has, in serial flow order, an adsorbent bed, a biocide filter, and a particle filter. The adsorbent bed includes adsorbent media that is configured to remove organic compounds from feed water that are capable of forming an adherent layer on a porous surface of a sublimator, and the biocide filter contains a halogen-release material.

LED INFORMATION CUEING APPARATUS FOR SPACESUIT HELMET
20210337913 · 2021-11-04 ·

A helmet assembly for a spacesuit or other protective suit is disclosed. In embodiments, the helmet assembly includes an external face shield attachable to the spacesuit and providing the spacesuit user with a forward field of view. The helmet assembly includes suit status displays hard-mounted to the external face shield at a periphery or edge of the forward field of view (e.g., upper, lower, left, right). Each suit status display includes a linear or one-dimensional array of individual light emitting diodes (LED) in communication with a suit controller of the spacesuit. Each LED array receives from the suit controller suit status data (e.g., consumables levels, suit performance, position data) communicated to the user by illuminating one or more of the individual LED units.
