| Spacesuit or EVA (Enhanced Vehicle Agent) Picture 1 |

There are many things on the Earth orbiter, what needs that astronauts will go outside their ships, and this is the reason, why NASA innovates the spacewalk techniques and equipment, what will enhance the operational range of the astronauts and even allow them to return to the Earth using only their spacesuits. The problems with the shuttle orbiters are, that those vehicles are always under the surveillance. If the crew want to do anything secret at the earth orbiter, that operation will be seen from the Earth with telescopes. The objective of ”EVA-project” is to give the astronaut capacity to operate at the orbital trajectory without the spaceship, and in the ideal scenario this operator could be launched to space by dressing only the space suit, what will protect this person from the cosmic radiation and the radiation, what comes from the Sun.
The equipment what is created for that project is like some jetpacks, what can operate outside the Earth atmosphere. The rumors say that some of those equipment looks like the torpedoes, what is equipped with rocket motors, and they will allow the spacemen to fly freely on the orbiter, and the solar eruptions can be avoided by staying the dark side of the Earth or acting like in some computer games. Those astronauts will use the satellites as the cover against the raised level of the radiation, what will be very dangerous for any living organism. When those astronauts will return to the Earth, they might step in the cargo-bay of X-37B or some other devices would be used.
Modern technology and remote-control equipment allows to replace human astronauts by the man-shaped robots, what can be controlled from Earth using the Virtual Reality equipment and the same kind of data-suit, what have used in the animated movies to move the characters on the screen. The only difference between that equipment and the equipment that is used by control man-shaped robot on the orbital trajectory could be little surprise. The system what is used to move the cartoon character on the screen is moving the virtual character, but those sensors what the actors use in the studio can connect to the physical robot.

Animation system bases technology, where the place, where the sensor is will be located with extremely sharp in the room, where are necessary sensors, what can locate the sensors, what hangs on the actor's suit. But the GPS-system can give more effectiveness for the data-suit, and the plates that are used to position for those gloves and other parts of human body can also equip by the GPS, what removes the necessity to use special rooms for the animation. In this model, the transponders that are used in those data-suits will replace by GPS-system, and that allows the person work anywhere anytime. And the VR-mask can be replaced by the mobile telephone, what can also be used to send the control signal from the data-gloves thru Internet for animated character or robots.
In some scenarios, those astronauts might have the shields with them, and they would use those things against the heat, what is the main problem when the spacecraft will be returned to the earth. So those hypothetical astronauts could stand on the shields, and because the top speed of free fall piece in the atmosphere is 250 kilometers per hour, could those astronauts use the parachutes for landing. Another idea was to use the chairs, what would be equipped with temperature shields. That kind of seats might look like the barber's chair, because that thing might protect the feet of the astronaut, and drives the pressure front bypassing the astronaut. Those parachutes can be multi-staged like first would be small-sized, and those things might slow the astronaut's speed, and then the bigger parachutes will be opened. Or if we use more imagination, those astronauts might have the jetpacks on their back, and that equipment might help them to fly across the atmosphere in the places like C-130 cargo bay.
The idea of this thing is that those missions could allow from the public eyes. The launching rockets must not be any big rockets, and probably the ”Pegasus”-rocket would have enough capacity to launch the ”free fly astronaut to the Earth orbiter, where this person can be picked by X-37B or they can use the ”space mopeds”, what means small size rockets to fly in the higher orbiter trajectory. Also, the missiles like ”Trident” can be used in those missions. The launching vehicle what is planned to used will fly its mission like in the launches of satellites, and the operation would be automatized. Those missions might stand the only couple of hours, but if those astronauts would have good stations in use, they could stay in the space very long period. In the original idea of that project was to spy the Soviet satellite but it might have other goals.
