American space suit. This 1990 concept placed the avionics required for landing open-cockpit lunar landers or operating rovers or other spacecraft within the suit itself.

A high-visibility flat-panel helmet/backpack assembly was equipped with louvers, headlights, a video camera, and an internal cockpit.

The Command/Control Pressure Suit was the work of Boeing space station engineer Brand Griffin and space artist Paul Hudson, who developed the prototype design without any government or industry grant money.
