FINAL FRONTIER DESIGN | PARTNERSHIPS
NASA is our biggest customer; we have been awarded more than $2 million in space suit development contracts with NASA's Johnson Space Center since our inception in 2010.
Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) owns FFD's 7th Launch and Re-Entry space suit and is utilizing it for human centered design research in their Human Centered Design Institute.
FFD has partnered with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) to specifically analyze and quantify the upper body range of motion of our space suits. Utilizing ERAUs "SUIT" lab motion tracking equipment, multiple test subjects have completed range of motion testing at their Daytona, Florida campus.
In partnership with Integrated Spaceflight Services, FFD has worked with Survival Systems in Groton, CT to evaluate space suit performance in the water. Survival Systems owns and operates complex water egress testing facilities for civilian and military training.
Integrated Spaceflight Services FFD has partnered with Integrated Spaceflight Services (ISS) for 5 years, resulting in hundreds of hours of suit testing with hundreds of test subjects. Through their Project Possum programs, students and researchers can wear FFD suits while in high fidelity suborbital flight simulators, in microgravity flight, or in water egress and rescue training.
In partnership with Integrated Spaceflight Services, FFD has worked with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) since 2016, utilizing their heavily modified Falcon 20 aircraft to evaluate space suits in a microgravity environment.
Zero 2 Infinity (Z2I) from Barcelona, Spain, owns FFD's 4th Launch and Re-Entry space suit. Z2I operates a fleet of high altitude balloons and capsules and intends to offer human high altitude flight over Europe utilizing FFD's suits for safety.
