ESA astronaut and Professor of Astronautics Reinhold Ewald with the SkinSuit garment worn by ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen on the International Space Station. The suit, designed to simulate the pull of gravity on the body to prevent muscle loss in weightlessness, is displayed at the #LivingInSpace exhibition at the techtextil 2017 Messe für Technische Texttilien und Vliesstoffe Trade Fair in Frankfurt, Germany.
