The forgotten British vision of a lunar armour suit
Long before NASA's Apollo missions, the British Interplanetary Society envisioned a different way to walk on the moon. This video explores their unique concept for a lunar spacesuit designed to resemble a suit of armour.
Decades before the famous Apollo program, the British Interlaretary Society developed a concept for lunar exploration that departed significantly from modern pressurized suits. Their design featured an aesthetic and functional structure reminiscent of a suit of armour.
Filmed via drone at the National Space Centre, the footage provides a glimpse into this piece of space history, set against the backdrop of the Rocket Tower.
