The Vollebak Martian Aerogel Jacket
When it came time to safely land rovers on the challenging terrains of both Mars and Titan, NASA relied on the expertise of using two of the most advanced materials available. Inspired by this space program ingenuity, Vollebak introduced the extraordinary Martian Aerogel Jacket. The interior of this remarkable garment is meticulously constructed with a revolutionary type of aerogel, the same material used to craft the heat shield for the upcoming Mars Rover. The aerogel is skillfully laser-drilled with hundreds of micropores, ensuring that the jacket remains not only flexible and durable, but also completely waterproof. And despite its impressive capabilities, the Martian Aerogel Jacket weighs a mere 700 grams, making it an incredibly lightweight outerwear option.
But that’s not all. The outer shell of this extraordinary jacket is ingeniously designed from a parachute that was once employed to successfully land the very first probe on Titan and the most recent Rover on Mars. This unique choice of material not only adds to the jacket’s captivating aesthetic, but also offers a fascinating glimpse inside at the laser-drilled aerogel. Every detail of the Martian Aerogel Jacket is thoughtfully inspired by the early Project Mercury spacesuits, showcasing elements such as black contrast seam taping and zigzag stitching, further enhancing its space-themed appeal.
With its cutting-edge technology and captivating design, the Martian Aerogel Jacket is truly a remarkable piece of outerwear that seamlessly combines the realms of space exploration and fashion.
