S1030
Class: Manned. Type: Space Suits. Nation: USA. Manufacturer: David Clark.

Upgraded SR-71 full pressure suit, link net with integrated subsystems.

The S1030 evolved from its remote ancestor, the original David Clark XMC-2-DC suit first produced in 1956, via the Pilot's Protective Assembly (PPA) model S901 worn by the first SR-71 crews. The S901 further evolved through several improved models and resulted in the S1030 suit, which was developed in the 1970s for SR-71 Blackbird operations.
