The MX-2 is an ongoing research project, constantly evolving and improving. Many research papers have been published about the MX-2, including at the International Conference on Environmental Systems (ICES), the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) and at AIAA conferences. These papers highlight the use of the MX-2 as a tool to investigate advanced space suit technologies, to research human-robotic interaction, and to make EVA more efficient. Many of these papers can be found here.
Currently, a team of 4 Graduate students and 4 Undergraduates are working on both the suit and various research projects that involve the suit. Last year, three of the undergraduate students on the team created this excellent MX-2 space suit video which gives a great overview of the suit and won the UMD video competition!
