So You’re Planning a Trip to Space and Haven’t a Thing to Wear? Design and Engineering Students Reimagine the Space Suit Fashion design and mechanical engineering students collaborated to solve an unusual problem for ILC Dover, an American engineering company that specializes in the design of space suits. ILC Dover created every space suit worn by the Apollo astronauts, including the 12 men who walked on the moon. The firm sponsored a project with Philadelphia University to solicit student ideas about space suit designs in the future. Mechanical engineering students helped the designers make functional choices for their designs. Highlights 2012-2013 • 31
