Pacific Spaceflight
Pacific Spaceflight is a non profit think-tank dedicated to developing next-generation space exploration technologies. Focused on designing, building, and testing space suits to lower the cost of access to outer space.

Organization
Starting in 2008, Cameron M. Smith Phd. founded a group of volunteers who began deconstructing the engineered components of spacesuits with the goal of developing publicly accessible technology. Many current spacesuits were designed in the 1970's and can cost upwards of $22 million USD. Pacific Spaceflight aims to fill the gap of spacesuit product availability through their public designs. Their technology has currently been tested in hypobaric chambers, flights to 70,000ft MSL, and high altitude ballooning attempts.

A new Science Channel series, now in production, will follow Pacific Spaceflight and two other teams with sky-high dreams, in their cosmic quest to explore the final frontier. The series will be focused on DIY methods to reach high altitudes, produced by World of Wonder premiering in 2020.

Publications
Documentation of research has been published online for public accessibility.
