A prototype European space suit designed to be slipped on in under two minutes is set for testing aboard the International Space Station, where French astronaut Sophie Adenot, now in orbit for her first long-duration mission, will try it out in microgravity.

The prototype, known as the EuroSuit, is designed to protect astronauts inside spacecraft while making suits faster and easier to put on.
