Polymorph — A mechanical counterpressure suit for space tourists

Polymorph is a concept of a mechanical counter pressure (MCP) suit for space tourists, that can be worn inside scape vehicles (IVA), during extravehicular activities (EVA) and in case of an emergency. Due to a highly compressive material composite with auxetic structure, this suit preserves the freedom of movement and flexibility of the human physique. Moreover it adapts to a multitude of physical shapes of the human body. This way it can be refurbished for multiple missions and multiple wearers. It transmits it´s wearer´s body heat to the environment of space in form of light.
