[i]Contrary to most reports, the dozen S1030As were not "modifications" of Air Force S1030 suits but were new suits fabricated expressly for the space shuttle program. They were derivatives of the S1030 design, using most of the same hardware and manufacturing techniques. However, although the softgoods were based on S1030 experience, they were necessarily different to support the addition of the AGS and biomedical instrumentation port and to increase the proof-pressure requirements.[/i]
