Abstract
An extravehicular activity system includes a vehicle having a bulkhead providing a port. The bulkhead separates an interior environment and an unenclosed exterior environment. The exterior environment is configured to be exposed to atmospheric pressure in a donning condition. A cover has a perimeter with a side of the perimeter secured to the bulkhead by a hinged joint. A spacesuit is supported on the bulkhead in the exterior environment and includes a flange providing a rear entry opening aligned with the port. A PLSS is retained in the cover and spaced from the flange in the donning condition. The PLSS is configured to be rotated about the hinged joint and into engagement with the flange in a donned condition in which the PLSS is removably secured to the flange.
