NASA's JSC extended its contract with Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International Inc. (HSSSI) for work related to the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), the U.S. spacesuit used for extravehicular activity (EVA). The extended option, valued at US$26 million, was the last of the available annual-renewal options of a contract worth US$333 million over six years. Under the contract, HSSSI was responsible for the successful performance of the EMU, including the design, development, certification, production, and enhancement of the EMU and of other hardware used in spacewalking.
