The AIR-0 is an innovative pair of inflatable work boots designed for astronauts working in zero gravity environments, such as outside a spacecraft. Developed by a team at MIT, the boots feature a rotating 3D-printed sole and an air support mechanism that engages pneumatic cushions to secure the astronaut's ankle during work. This design helps astronauts maintain their footing when handling tools and performing tasks in Low Earth Orbit. Made from a combination of materials including soft plastic, TPU, and light foam, these boots are vital for mobility and safety in outer space operations.
The AIR-0 inflatable work boots, developed by a team at MIT, aim to provide astronauts with enhanced stability and support while working outside of spacecraft.
With pneumatic cushions around the ankle, the AIR-0 enables astronauts to feel more grounded by filling the airbags with air to help with their movements in zero gravity.
