Starsuit: Programmable Chainmail Spacesuits
The first fully programmable fabric, enabling custom compression across health and interplanetary exploration
Mechanical Counterpressure Spacesuits
Traditional gas-pressurized spacesuits are expensive, bulky, and late.
Unlike traditional bladder-based suits that rely on gas pressure, Starsuit uses precisely engineered lattice structures to apply mechanical counterpressure directly to the skin. This eliminates the need for bulky gas containment systems and enables natural movement in vacuum environments.
How it's made:
Our manufacturing process begins with high-resolution 3D scanning to capture precise anatomical data. This digital model drives our lattice generation algorithms, which optimize chainmail patterns for both medical and spacesuit counterpressure requirements.
- Surface-following chainmail architecture
- Custom lattice geometries for targeted pressure application
- Medical-grade biocompatible materials
- 3D-printed to individual astronaut specifications
Aerospace precision compression for complex swelling conditions
Custom garment fitting
Each Starsock is custom-fitted using 3D scanning technology, ensuring perfect compression mapping for individual patient anatomy and specific medical conditions.
- Patient-specific 3D scanning
- Custom compression mapping from 1mmHg to 55mmHg
- Perfect anatomical fit
- Easy to take on and off
Complete limb metrics
Comprehensive measurement and analysis ensures optimal compression therapy through precise pressure mapping and structural integrity validation.
- Comprehensive limb measurement
- Continuous circumference analysis
- Continuous volume analysis
- Long-term tracking of limb metrics
The same technology that provides life-changing compression for lymphedema patients today will enable astronauts to work comfortably in hard vacuum tomorrow.
Each medical device we produce validates and refines the manufacturing precision required for space-grade mechanical counterpressure systems.
Starsuit represents the first viable path to scalable mechanical counterpressure spacesuits.
