International Conference On Environmental Systems Technical Session Schedule Monday, July 19 Extravehicular Activity: Exploration (Session Code: ICES29A) Room Douglas  1:30 p.m. A journey a thousand of miles with a single step. The presenters in the EVA Exploration session are applying that ancient wisdom to the journey to the stars. The EVA Exploration session covers a variety of steps being taken toward exploration of extraterrestrial environments. A current area of research is the geologic exploration of planetary surfaces. The session begins with two presentations on recent field testing of advanced EVA hardware and exploration techniques for surface exploration. These are followed by presentations of two concepts for the same. The session continues and concludes with presentations on critical components of EVA hardware for exploration, advanced space suit concepts and robotic assistants. Come and join the journey.
