Metakosmos · Supports System
“Kosmosuit is a modular human systems platform. The pressure structure, the data spine and the life support interfaces stay constant from a saturation dive to an orbital EVA. Only the environment-facing layer changes. A variant is a reconfiguration of a qualified platform, not a new suit.”

Metakosmos · Supports System
“SENSORSUIT is the base layer of the Kosmosuit platform. Joint protection, biomarker capture and thermal regulation in a single garment, worn under any variant or worn alone as a measurement platform.”
