NASA is co-developing an exoskeleton that could give astronauts superhuman strength. The 26-kilogram X1 Robotic Exoskeleton fits over an astronaut's leg, has motorised joints and, for the time being, it could be used to add resistive force in microgravity, helping astronauts on the ISS exercise. In the future it could be paired with a spacesuit to provide additional force needed during surface exploration, improving balance and helping astronauts walk in a reduced gravity environment.
